storage: Introduce virStorageBackendZeroPartitionTable

Create a wrapper/helper that can be used to call the storage backend
wipe helper - storageBackendVolWipeLocalFile for future use by logical
and disk backends to clear out the partition table rather than having
each open code the same algorithm.
