Description
Open any raster and go to Transparency tab in layer properties. There is a dummy (incorrect) nodata value and one line with dummy transparent pixels.
Also seems that correct nodata value don't handled by provider.

We need at least one nodata value for reprojection (to make transparent areas outside original raster extent). If a raster does not have any nodata value, the provider is using larger data type (for example 16bit instead of original 8bit, because without scanning the whole file we cannot say if all values are used) and sets nodata value, a minimum or maximum value of the data type range, -32768.0, -2147483648.0 or 4294967295.0. This nodata value is only used internally and it should not appear in UI.
Currently we don't have any method / provider member giving info if the nodata value was set by provider or it comes from data. Maybe isNoDataValueValid() could be used for this, because we have now always a nodata value, so it could say if it is internal. But the name of the method would be misleading. Most probably we need a new method/member.
Maybe we just don't have to add nodata value to transparency table by default?
