rbd: copyup with an empty snapshot context (aka deep-copyup)
This is the core of deep-flatten feature: sending a copyup request
(i.e. a guarded write of the data read from the parent) with an empty
snapshot context (snaps = [], seq = 0) causes the OSD to reflect the
write in all existing snapshots. This allows "rbd flatten" to fully
disconnect the clone image and its snapshots from the parent and make
the parent snapshot removable.
The actual modification request is sent only after deep-copyup request
is completed. Waiting for deep-copyup reply is unnecessary, this will
be improved in the future.
