Commit 488981a4 [block: convert quorum blockdrv to use crypto APIs]
broke qemu-iotest 041 on hosts with GnuTLS < 2.10.0. It converted a
compile-time check to a run-time check at device open time. The result
is that we now advertise a feature (the quorum block driver) that will
never work (on those hosts). There's no way (short of parsing
human-readable error messages) for qemu-iotests or any other API
consumer to recognise that the quorum block driver isn't _actually_
available and shouldn't be used or tested.
Move the run-time check to bdrv_quorum_init() to avoid registering the
quorum block driver if we know it cannot work. This way API consumers
can recognise it's unavailable.

This patch adds single read pattern to quorum driver and quorum vote is default
pattern.
For now we do a quorum vote on all the reads, it is designed for unreliable
underlying storage such as non-redundant NFS to make sure data integrity at the
cost of the read performance.
For some use cases as following:
VM
--------------
| |
v v
A B
Both A and B has hardware raid storage to justify the data integrity on its own.
So it would help performance if we do a single read instead of on all the nodes.
Further, if we run VM on either of the storage node, we can make a local read
request for better performance.
This patch generalize the above 2 nodes case in the N nodes. That is,
vm -> write to all the N nodes, read just one of them. If single read fails, we
try to read next node in FIFO order specified by the startup command.
The 2 nodes case is very similar to DRBD[1] though lack of auto-sync
functionality in the single device/node failure for now. But compared with DRBD
we still have some advantages over it:
- Suppose we have 20 VMs running on one(assume A) of 2 nodes' DRBD backed
storage. And if A crashes, we need to restart all the VMs on node B. But for
practice case, we can't because B might not have enough resources to setup 20 VMs
at once. So if we run our 20 VMs with quorum driver, and scatter the replicated
images over the data center, we can very likely restart 20 VMs without any
resource problem.
After all, I think we can build a more powerful replicated image functionality
on quorum and block jobs(block mirror) to meet various High Availibility needs.
E.g, Enable single read pattern on 2 children,
-drive driver=quorum,children.0.file.filename=0.qcow2,\
children.1.file.filename=1.qcow2,read-pattern=fifo,vote-threshold=1

Quorum is a block filter mirroring writes to num_children children.
For reads quorum reads each children and does a vote.
If more than vote_threshold versions are identical the quorum is reached and
this winning version is returned to the guest. So quorum prevents bit corruption.
For high availability purpose minority errors are reported via QMP but the guest
does not see them.
