# Test to compare performance of write requests for two qemu-img binary files.
#
# The idea of the test comes from intention to check the benefit of c8bb23cbdbe
# "qcow2: skip writing zero buffers to empty COW areas".

The function creates a QCOW2 image with the given path/name. Then it runs
the 'qemu-img bench' command and makes series of write requests on the
image clusters. Finally, it returns the total time of the write operations
on the disk.
qemu_img -- path to qemu_img executable file
image_name -- QCOW2 image name to create
block_size -- size of a block to write to clusters
block_offset -- offset of the block in clusters
cluster_size -- size of the image cluster
Returns {'seconds': int} on success and {'error': str} on failure.
Return value is compatible with simplebench lib.
