vmdk: add support for “zeroed‐grain” GTE

Introduced support for zeroed-grain GTE, as specified in Virtual Disk
Format 5.0[1].

    Recent VMware hosted platform products support a new “zeroed‐grain”
    grain table entry (GTE). The zeroed‐grain GTE returns all zeros on
    read.  In other words, the zeroed‐grain GTE indicates that a grain
    in the child disk is zero‐filled but does not actually occupy space
    in storage.  A sparse extent with zeroed‐grain GTE has the following
    in its header:

     * SparseExtentHeader.version = 2
     * SparseExtentHeader.flags has bit 2 set

    Other than the new flag and the possibly zeroed‐grain GTE, version 2
    sparse extents are identical to version 1.  Also, a zeroed‐grain GTE
    has value 0x1 in the GT table.
