Description

It should be possible to map compressed images too. One idea would be:

1) detect compressed image and read trailer in virtnbdmap
2) add info about the compressed block (length and original length / offset) to the blockmap json
3) in virtnbd-nbdkit-plugin detect if requested block is compressed, decompress and return decompressed data
