block resize: avoid passing zero size to QMP command

Commit 7246e8f9 ("Set zero $size and continue if volume_resize()
returns false") mentions that this is needed for "some storages with
backing block devices to do online resize" and since this patch came
together [0] with pve-storage commit a4aee43 ("Fix RBD resize with
krbd option enabled."), it's safe to assume that RBD with krbd is
meant. But it should be the same situation for any external plugin
relying on the same behavior.

Other storages backed by block devices like LVM(-thin) and ZFS return
1 and the new size respectively, and the code is older than the above
mentioned commits. So really, the RBD plugin just should have returned
a positive value to be in-line with those and there should be no need
to pass 0 to the block_resize QMP command either.

Actually, it's a hack, because the block_resize QMP command does not
actually do special handling for the value 0. It's just that in the
case of a block device, QEMU won't try to resize it (and not fail for
shrinkage). But the size in the raw driver's BlockDriverState is
temporarily set to 0 (which is not nice), until the sector count is
refreshed, where raw_co_getlength is called, which queries the new
size and sets the size in the raw driver's BlockDriverState again as a
side effect. But bdrv_getlength is a coroutine wrapper starting from
QEMU 8.0.0, and it's just better to avoid setting a completely wrong
value even temporarily. Just pass the actually requested size like is
done for LVM(thin) and ZFS.

Since this patch was originally written, Friedrich managed to find
that this actually can cause real issues:
1. Start VM with an RBD image without krbd
2. Change storage config to use krbd
3. Resize disk
Likely, because the disk is resized via the storage layer and the QMP
command resizing it to "0" happens simultaneously. The exact reason
was not yet determined, but the issue is gone in Proxmox VE 8 and
re-appears after reverting this patch.

Long-term, it makes sense to not rely on the storage flag, but look
how the disk is actually attached in QEMU to decide how to do the resize.
