Cluster size may have performatnce implications. Propagate the cluster

   qemu: block: Allow specifying cluster size when using
     'blockdev-create'
   qemuBlockStorageSourceCreateDetectSize: Propagate cluster size for

It's not as flexible as allowing the user to customize sizes, but it definitely makes sense and is a sane heuristic, better than adccidentally creating an overlay with 64k clusters atop a base image with 1M clusters.
