We don't verify the request range against s->size in the I/O callbacks
except for raw_co_pwritev. This is inconsistent (especially for
raw_co_pwrite_zeroes and raw_co_pdiscard), so fix them, in the meanwhile
make the helper reusable by the coming new callbacks.
Note that in most cases the block layer already verifies the request
byte range against our reported image length, before invoking the driver
callbacks. The exception is during image creating, after
blk_set_allow_write_beyond_eof(blk, true) is called. But in that case,
the requests are not directly from the user or guest. So there is no
visible behavior change in adding the check code.
The int64_t -> uint64_t inconsistency, as shown by the type casting, is
pre-existing due to the interface.

The basic job as implemented here is all that is necessary to make image
creation asynchronous and to provide a QMP interface that can be marked
stable, but it still lacks a few features that jobs usually provide: The
job will ignore pause commands and it doesn't publish more than very
basic progress yet (total-progress is 1 and current-progress advances
from 0 to 1 when the driver callbacks returns). These features can be

MIN_REFCOUNT_CACHE_SIZE is 4 and the cluster size is guaranteed to be
at most 2MB, so the minimum refcount cache size (in bytes) is always
going to fit in a 32-bit integer.
Coverity doesn't know that, and since we're storing the result in a
uint64_t (*refcount_cache_size) it thinks that we need the 64 bits and
that we probably want to do a 64-bit multiplication to prevent the
result from being truncated.
This is a false positive in this case, but it's a fair warning.
We could do a 64-bit multiplication to get rid of it, but since we
know that a 32-bit variable is enough to store this value let's simply
reuse min_refcount_cache, make it a normal int and stop doing casts.

block_job_cancel_async() did two things that were still block job
specific:
* Setting job->force. This field makes sense on the Job level, so we can
just move it. While at it, rename it to job->force_cancel to make its
purpose more obvious.
* Resetting the I/O status. This can't be moved because generic Jobs
don't have an I/O status. What the function really implements is a
user resume, except without entering the coroutine. Consequently, it
makes sense to call the .user_resume driver callback here which
already resets the I/O status.
The old block_job_cancel_async() has two separate if statements that
check job->iostatus != BLOCK_DEVICE_IO_STATUS_OK and job->user_paused.
However, the former condition always implies the latter (as is
asserted in block_job_iostatus_reset()), so changing the explicit call
of block_job_iostatus_reset() on the former condition with the
.user_resume callback on the latter condition is equivalent and
doesn't need to access any BlockJob specific state.

Update the rest of the filter drivers to support

This patch does not cover the replication driver because that currently
does not support flags at all, and because it just grabs the WRITE
permission for its children when it can, so we should be fine just
submitting the incoming WRITE_UNCHANGED requests as normal writes.
It also does not cover format drivers for similar reasons. They all use
bdrv_format_default_perms() as their .bdrv_child_perm() implementation
so they just always grab the WRITE permission for their file children
whenever possible. In addition, it often would be difficult to
ascertain whether incoming unchanging writes end up as unchanging writes
in their files. So we just leave them as normal potentially changing

The L2 and refcount caches have default sizes that can be overridden
using the l2-cache-size and refcount-cache-size (an additional
parameter named cache-size sets the combined size of both caches).
Unless forced by one of the aforementioned parameters, QEMU will set
the unspecified sizes so that the L2 cache is 4 times larger than the
refcount cache.
This is based on the premise that the refcount metadata needs to be
only a fourth of the L2 metadata to cover the same amount of disk
space. This is incorrect for two reasons:
a) The amount of disk covered by an L2 table depends solely on the
cluster size, but in the case of a refcount block it depends on
the cluster size *and* the width of each refcount entry.
The 4/1 ratio is only valid with 16-bit entries (the default).
b) When we talk about disk space and L2 tables we are talking about
guest space (L2 tables map guest clusters to host clusters),
whereas refcount blocks are used for host clusters (including
L1/L2 tables and the refcount blocks themselves). On a fully
populated (and uncompressed) qcow2 file, image size > virtual size
so there are more refcount entries than L2 entries.
Problem (a) could be fixed by adjusting the algorithm to take into
account the refcount entry width. Problem (b) could be fixed by
increasing a bit the refcount cache size to account for the clusters
used for qcow2 metadata.
However this patch takes a completely different approach and instead
of keeping a ratio between both cache sizes it assigns as much as
possible to the L2 cache and the remainder to the refcount cache.
The reason is that L2 tables are used for every single I/O request
from the guest and the effect of increasing the cache is significant
and clearly measurable. Refcount blocks are however only used for
cluster allocation and internal snapshots and in practice are accessed
sequentially in most cases, so the effect of increasing the cache is
negligible (even when doing random writes from the guest).
So, make the refcount cache as small as possible unless the user
explicitly asks for a larger one.
