There are many existing qcow2 images that specify a backing file but
no format. This has been the source of CVEs in the past, but has
become more prominent of a problem now that libvirt has switched to
-blockdev. With older -drive, at least the probing was always done by
qemu (so the only risk of a changed format between successive boots of
a guest was if qemu was upgraded and probed differently). But with
newer -blockdev, libvirt must specify a format; if libvirt guesses raw
where the image was formatted, this results in data corruption visible
to the guest; conversely, if libvirt guesses qcow2 where qemu was
using raw, this can result in potential security holes, so modern
libvirt instead refuses to use images without explicit backing format.
The change in libvirt to reject images without explicit backing format
has pointed out that a number of tools have been far too reliant on
probing in the past. It's time to set a better example in our own
iotests of properly setting this parameter.
iotest calls to create, rebase, and convert are all impacted to some
degree. It's a bit annoying that we are inconsistent on command line
- while all of those accept -o backing_file=...,backing_fmt=..., the
shortcuts are different: create and rebase have -b and -F, while
convert has -B but no -F. (amend has no shortcuts, but the previous
patch just deprecated the use of amend to change backing chains).

We generally include relevant HMP input in .out files, by virtue of
the fact that HMP echoes its input. But QMP does not, so we have to
explicitly inject it in the output stream (appropriately filtered to
keep the tests passing), in order to make it easier to read .out files
to see what behavior is being tested (especially true where the output
file is a sequence of {'return': {}}).

It is interesting to know whether the shutdown cause was 'quit' or
'reset', especially when using "--no-reboot". In that case, a management
layer can now determine if the guest wanted a reboot or shutdown, and
can act accordingly.
Changes the output of the reason in the iotests from 'host-qmp' to
'host-qmp-quit'. This does not break compatibility because
the field was introduced in the same version.

This makes it possible to determine what the exact reason was for
a RESET or a SHUTDOWN. A management layer might need the specific reason
of those events to determine which cleanups or other actions it needs to do.
This patch also updates the iotests to the new expected output that includes
the reason.

This adds a QMP event that is emitted whenever a job transitions from
one status to another.
