Allows the fault thread to stop handling page faults temporarily. When
network failure happened (and if we expect a recovery afterwards), we
should not allow the fault thread to continue sending things to source,
instead, it should halt for a while until the connection is rebuilt.
When the dest main thread noticed the failure, it kicks the fault thread
to switch to pause state.

When there is IO error on the incoming channel (e.g., network down),
instead of bailing out immediately, we allow the dst vm to switch to the
new POSTCOPY_PAUSE state. Currently it is still simple - it waits the
new semaphore, until someone poke it for another attempt.
One note is that here on ram loading thread we cannot detect the
POSTCOPY_ACTIVE state, but we need to detect the more specific
POSTCOPY_INCOMING_RUNNING state, to make sure we have already loaded all
the device states.

The old incoming migration is running in main thread and default
gcontext. With the new qio_channel_add_watch_full() we can now let it
run in the thread's own gcontext (if there is one).
Currently this patch does nothing alone. But when any of the incoming
migration is run in another iothread (e.g., the upcoming migrate-recover
command), this patch will bind the incoming logic to the iothread
instead of the main thread (which may already get page faulted and
hanged).
RDMA is not considered for now since it's not even using the QIO watch
framework at all.

img_open_opts() takes a QemuOpts and converts them to a QDict, so all
values therein are strings. Then it may try to call qdict_get_bool(),
however, which will fail with a segmentation fault every time:
$ ./qemu-img info -U --image-opts \
driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off
[1] 27869 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./qemu-img info -U
--image-opts driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off
Fix this by using qdict_get_str() and comparing the value as a string.
Also, when adding a force-share value to the QDict, add it as a string
so it fits the rest of the dict.

Currently, qemu-io only uses string-valued blockdev options (as all are
converted directly from QemuOpts) -- with one exception: -U adds the
force-share option as a boolean. This in itself is already a bit
questionable, but a real issue is that it also assumes the value already
existing in the options QDict would be a boolean, which is wrong.
That has the following effect:
$ ./qemu-io -r -U --image-opts \
driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off
[1] 15200 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./qemu-io -r -U
--image-opts driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off
Since @opts is converted from QemuOpts, the value must be a string, and
we have to compare it as such. Consequently, it makes sense to also set
it as a string instead of a boolean.

Some block drivers (iscsi and file-posix when dealing with device files)
do not actually support truncation, even though they provide a
.bdrv_truncate() method and will happily return success when providing a
new size that does not exceed the current size. This is because these
drivers expect the user to resize the image outside of qemu and then
provide qemu with that information through the block_resize command
(compare cb1b83e740).
Of course, anyone using qemu-img resize will find that behavior useless.
So we should check the actual size of the image after the supposedly
successful truncation took place, emit an error if nothing changed and
emit a warning if the target size was not met.

COR across nodes (that is, you have some filter node between the
actually COR target and the node that performs the COR) cannot reliably
work together with the permission system when there is no explicit COR
node that can request the WRITE_UNCHANGED permission for its child.
This is because COR (currently) sneaks its requests by the usual
permission checks, so it can work without a WRITE* permission; but if
there is a filter node in between, that will re-issue the request, which
then passes through the usual check -- and if nobody has requested a
WRITE_UNCHANGED permission, that check will fail.
There is no real direct fix apart from hoping that there is someone who
has requested that permission; in case of just the qemu-io HMP command
(and no guest device), however, that is not the case. The real real fix
is to implement the copy-on-read flag through an implicitly added COR
node. Such a node can request the necessary permissions as shown in
this test.

Update the rest of the filter drivers to support
BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED. They already forward write request flags to
their children, so we just have to announce support for it.
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
writes.

Currently, common.qemu only allows to match for results indicating
success. The only way to fail is by provoking a timeout. However,
sometimes we do have a defined failure output and can match for that,
which saves us from having to wait for the timeout in case of failure.
Because failure can sometimes just result in a _notrun in the test, it
is actually important to care about being able to fail quickly.
Also, sometimes we simply do not get any specific output in case of
success. The only way to handle this currently would be to define an
error message as the string to look for, which means that actual success
results in a timeout. This is really bad because it unnecessarily slows
down a succeeding test.
Therefore, this patch adds a new parameter $success_or_failure to
_timed_wait_for and _send_qemu_cmd. Setting this to a non-empty string
makes both commands expect two match parameters: If the first matches,
the function succeeds. If the second matches, the function fails.

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.

Compressed clusters are not supposed to have the COPIED bit set, but
this is not made explicit in the specs, so let's document it.

Compressed clusters are not supposed to have the COPIED bit set.
"qemu-img check" detects that and prints an error message reporting
the number of the affected host cluster. This doesn't make much sense
because compressed clusters are not aligned to host clusters, so it
would be better to report the offset instead. Plus, the calculation is
wrong and it uses the raw L2 entry as if it was simply an offset.
This patch fixes the error message and reports the offset of the
compressed cluster.

Commit abd3622cc0 added a case to 122
regarding how the qcow2 driver handles an incorrect compressed data
length value. This does not really fit into 122, as that file is
supposed to contain qemu-img convert test cases, which this case is not.
So this patch splits it off into its own file; maybe we will even get
more qcow2-only compression tests in the future.
Also, that test case does not work with refcount_bits=1, so mark that
option as unsupported.
