Saving icount as a parameters of the snapshot allows navigation between
them in the execution replay scenario.
This information can be used for finding a specific snapshot for proceeding
the recorded execution to the specific moment of the time.
E.g., 'reverse step' action (introduced in one of the following patches)
needs to load the nearest snapshot which is prior to the current moment
of time.
This patch also updates snapshot test which verifies qemu monitor output.

Environment variables like CFLAGS are easy to accidentally change. Meson
warns if that happens, but in a project with a lot of configuration that
is easy to lose. It is also surprising behavior since meson caches -D
options and remembers those on reconfiguration (which we rely on,
since configure options become -D options).
By placing the user-provided CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the
cross file, we at least get consistent behavior. These environment
variables are still ugly and not really recommended, but there are
distros that rely on them. For the gory details, refer to
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4664.

If the CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS or LDFLAGS variables are present in the environment,
any modification made within the configure script is passed down to Meson.
This is particularly undesirable for the "-pie" option, since it overrides
"-shared" and thus messes up the linker flags for shared modules.
Using a separate variable therefore fixes the bug, while clarifying that
the scope of these CFLAGS is just the configure script.
We also do not need to pass those variables in config-host.mak; they
were only used for printing the summary now that all submodules are
built with handwritten Meson rules). For now synthesize CFLAGS in the
configuration summary, the next patch will also pass them in a cleaner
way using the cross file.

refactoring of cpus.c continues with cpu timer state extraction.
cpu-timers: responsible for the softmmu cpu timers state,
including cpu clocks and ticks.
icount: counts the TCG instructions executed. As such it is specific to
the TCG accelerator. Therefore, it is built only under CONFIG_TCG.
One complication is due to qtest, which uses an icount field to warp time
as part of qtest (qtest_clock_warp).
In order to solve this problem, provide a separate counter for qtest.
This requires fixing assumptions scattered in the code that
qtest_enabled() implies icount_enabled(), checking each specific case.

Now that we are not maintaining boilerplate code for coroutine
wrappers, there is no more sense in keeping the extra indirection layer
of bdrv_prwv(). Let's drop it and instead generate pure bdrv_preadv()
and bdrv_pwritev().
Currently, bdrv_pwritev() and bdrv_preadv() are returning bytes on
success, auto generated functions will instead return zero, as their
_co_ prototype. Still, it's simple to make the conversion safe: the
only external user of bdrv_pwritev() is test-bdrv-drain, and it is
comfortable enough with bdrv_co_pwritev() instead. So prototypes are
moved to local block/coroutines.h. Next, the only internal use is
bdrv_pread() and bdrv_pwrite(), which are modified to return bytes on
success.
Of course, it would be great to convert bdrv_pread() and bdrv_pwrite()
to return 0 on success. But this requires audit (and probably
conversion) of all their users, let's leave it for another day
refactoring.

We have a very frequent pattern of creating a coroutine from a function
with several arguments:
- create a structure to pack parameters
- create _entry function to call original function taking parameters
from struct
- do different magic to handle completion: set ret to NOT_DONE or
EINPROGRESS or use separate bool field
- fill the struct and create coroutine from _entry function with this
struct as a parameter
- do coroutine enter and BDRV_POLL_WHILE loop
Let's reduce code duplication by generating coroutine wrappers.
This patch adds scripts/block-coroutine-wrapper.py together with some
friends, which will generate functions with declared prototypes marked
by the 'generated_co_wrapper' specifier.
The usage of new code generation is as follows:
1. define the coroutine function somewhere
int coroutine_fn bdrv_co_NAME(...) {...}
2. declare in some header file
int generated_co_wrapper bdrv_NAME(...);
with same list of parameters (generated_co_wrapper is
defined in "include/block/block.h").
3. Make sure the block_gen_c declaration in block/meson.build
mentions the file with your marker function.
Still, no function is now marked, this work is for the following
commit.

Most of our coroutine wrappers already follow this convention:
We have 'coroutine_fn bdrv_co_<something>(<normal argument list>)' as
the core function, and a wrapper 'bdrv_<something>(<same argument
list>)' which does parameter packing and calls bdrv_run_co().
The only outsiders are the bdrv_prwv_co and
bdrv_common_block_status_above wrappers. Let's refactor them to behave
as the others, it simplifies further conversion of coroutine wrappers.
This patch adds an indirection layer, but it will be compensated by
a further commit, which will drop bdrv_co_prwv together with the
is_write logic, to keep the read and write paths separate.
