The compression filter driver is introduced as suggested by Max.
A sample usage of the filter can be found in the test #214.
Now, multiple clusters can be written compressed.
It is useful for the backup job.

v7:
  01: The 'zip_' prefix for the compression filter functions replaced with
    'compress_' one.
  02: .bdrv_co_preadv/pwritev (without _part) removed from the filter.
  03: .bdrv_refresh_limits amended.
  04: .bdrv_get_info added.
  05: In qapi/block-core.json, @compress: Since 5.0 was set.
