qcow2: use one single memory block for the L2/refcount cache tables
The qcow2 L2/refcount cache contains one separate table for each cache
entry. Doing one allocation per table adds unnecessary overhead and it
also requires us to store the address of each table separately.
Since the size of the cache is constant during its lifetime, it's
better to have an array that contains all the tables using one single
allocation.
In my tests measuring freshly created caches with sizes 128MB (L2) and
32MB (refcount) this uses around 10MB of RAM less.
