On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block commit.
For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.
In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.
With this extension to the block-commit api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the overlay image as part of the block-commit
operation.
This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing
file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image
to modify in that case).
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

We will use BlockJobType as the enum type name of block jobs in QAPI,
rename current BlockJobType to BlockJobDriver, which will eventually
become a set of operations, similar to block drivers.

This is a bug that was caught by a coverity run by Markus. In
the error case when we errored out to exit_restore_open early in the
function, 'overlay_bs' was still NULL at that point, although it is
used to look up flags and perform a bdrv_reopen().
Move the overlay_bs lookup to where it is needed, and check for NULL
before restoring the flags. Also get rid of the unneeded parameter
initialization.

This simplifies some code and error checking, and also fixes a bug.
bdrv_find_backing_image() should only be passed absolute filenames,
or filenames relative to the chain. In the QMP message handler for
block commit, when looking up the base do so from the determined top
image, so we know it is reachable from top.
Some of the error messages put out by block-commit have changed
slightly, which causes 2 tests cases for block-commit to fail.
This patch updates the test cases to look for the correct error
output.

This adds the live commit coroutine. This iteration focuses on the
commit only below the active layer, and not the active layer itself.
The behaviour is similar to block streaming; the sectors are walked
through, and anything that exists above 'base' is committed back down
into base. At the end, intermediate images are deleted, and the
chain stitched together. Images are restored to their original open
flags upon completion.
