In the context of backup fleecing, discarding the source will not work
when the fleecing image has a larger granularity than the one used for
block-copy operations (can happen if the backup target has smaller
cluster size), because cbw_co_pdiscard_snapshot() will align down the
discard requests and thus effectively ignore then.

To make @discard-source work in such a scenario, allow specifying the
minimum cluster size used for block-copy operations and thus in
particular also the granularity for discard requests to the source.

Changes in v3:
* Use PRI{i,u}64 macros
* Do not leak qdict in error case
