qemu-img: Deprecate use of -b without -F
Creating an image that requires format probing of the backing image is
potentially unsafe (we've had several CVEs over the years based on
probes leaking information to the guest on a subsequent boot, although
these days tools like libvirt are aware of the issue enough to prevent
the worst effects). For example, if our probing algorithm ever
changes, or if other tools like libvirt determine a different probe
result than we do, then subsequent use of that backing file under a
different format will present corrupted data to the guest.
Fortunately, the worst effects occur only when the backing image is
originally raw, and we at least prevent commit into a probed raw
backing file that would change its probed type.
Still, it is worth starting a deprecation clock so that future
qemu-img can refuse to create backing chains that would rely on
probing, to encourage clients to avoid unsafe practices. Most
warnings are intentionally emitted from bdrv_img_create() in the block
layer, but qemu-img convert uses bdrv_create() which cannot emit its
own warning without causing spurious warnings on other code paths. In
the end, all command-line image creation or backing file rewriting now
performs a check.
Furthermore, if we probe a backing file as non-raw, then it is safe to
explicitly record that result (rather than relying on future probes);
only where we probe a raw image do we care about further warnings to
the user when using such an image (for example, commits into a
probed-raw backing file are prevented), to help them improve their
tooling. But whether or not we make the probe results explicit, we
still warn the user to remind them to upgrade their workflow to supply
-F always.
iotest 114 specifically wants to create an unsafe image for later
amendment rather than defaulting to our new default of recording a
probed format, so it needs an update. While touching it, expand it to
cover all of the various warnings enabled by this patch. iotest 301
also shows a change to qcow messages.

qemu-img: warning: Deprecated use of backing file without explicit backing format (detected format of raw)
Formatting 'TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT', fmt=IMGFMT size=67108864 backing_file=TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT.orig
qemu-io: Don't die on second open
Most callback commands in qemu-io return 0 to keep the interpreter
loop running, or 1 to quit immediately. However, open_f() just
passed through the return value of openfile(), which has different
semantics of returning 0 if a file was opened, or 1 on any failure.
As a result of mixing the return semantics, we are forcing the
qemu-io interpreter to exit early on any failures, which is rather
annoying when some of the failures are obviously trying to give
the user a hint of how to proceed (if we didn't then kill qemu-io
out from under the user's feet):
$ qemu-io
qemu-io> open foo
qemu-io> open foo
file open already, try 'help close'
$ echo $?
0
In general, we WANT openfile() to report failures, since it is the
function used in the form 'qemu-io -c "$something" no_such_file'
for performing one or more -c options on a single file, and it is
not worth attempting $something if the file itself cannot be opened.
So the solution is to fix open_f() to always return 0 (when we are
in interactive mode, even failure to open should not end the
session), and save the return value of openfile() for command line
use in main().
Note, however, that we do have some qemu-iotests that do 'qemu-io
-c "open file" -c "$something"'; such tests will now proceed to
attempt $something whether or not the open succeeded, the same way
as if the two commands had been attempted in interactive mode. As
such, the expected output for those tests has to be modified. But it
also means that it is now possible to use -c close and have a single
qemu-io command line operate on more than one file even without
using interactive mode. Although the '-c open' action is a subtle
change in behavior, remember that qemu-io is for debugging purposes,
so as long as it serves the needs of qemu-iotests while still being
reasonable for interactive use, it should not be a problem that we
are changing tests to the new behavior.
This has been awkward since at least as far back as commit
e3aff4f, in 2009.
