The current paths for modules are CONFIG_QEMU_MODDIR and paths relative
to the executable. Qemu and its modules can be installed and executed in
paths that are different from these search paths. This change allows
a search path to be specified by environment variable.
An example usage for this is postmarketOS[1]. This is a build environment
for Alpine Linux. It sets up Alpine Linux in a chroot environment.
Alpine's Qemu packages are installed in the chroot. The Alpine Linux Qemu
package is used to test compiled Alpine Linux system images. This way there
isn't a reliance on the which ever version of Qemu the host system / distro
provides.
postmarketOS executes Qemu on host system outside of the chroot
The Qemu module search path needs to point to the location of the
chroot relative to the host system.
e.g.
The root of the Alpine Linux chroot is:
~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/chroot_native/
Alpine's Qemu is installed at
~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/chroot_native/usr/bin/
The Qemu module search path needs to be:
QEMU_MODULE_DIR=~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/chroot_native/usr/lib/qemu/

Extend the current module interface to allow for block drivers to be
loaded dynamically on request. The only block drivers that can be
converted into modules are the drivers that don't perform any init
operation except for registering themselves.
In addition, only the protocol drivers are being modularized, as they
are the only ones which see significant performance benefits. The format
drivers do not generally link to external libraries, so modularizing
them is of no benefit from a performance perspective.
All the necessary module information is located in a new structure found
in module_block.h
This spoils the purpose of 5505e8b76f (block/dmg: make it modular).
Before this patch, if module build is enabled, block-dmg.so is linked to
libbz2, whereas the main binary is not. In downstream, theoretically, it
means only the qemu-block-extra package depends on libbz2, while the
main QEMU package needn't to. With this patch, we (temporarily) change
the case so that the main QEMU depends on libbz2 again.

The current implementation depends on a configure-time generated list of
block modules. When any of them is absent, module_load() emits a warning.
This is suboptimal because extracting code to modules was mainly done to
allow separate packaging of modules with intrusive dependencies. Absence
of optional packages then leads to absence of modules and an error
message, which users may recognize as new and report as error.

gmodule-2.0's pkg-config files include -Wl,--export-dynamic, which breaks
static builds. It is a glib bug, but we need to support --static builds for
the linux-user targets, and in the end all that is needed to fix this is:
* outlaw --enable-modules --static, which makes little sense anyway
* only include gmodule-2.0's cflags and ldflags if --enable-modules is
specified on the command line.

This patch adds loading, stamp checking and initialization of modules.
The init function of dynamic module is no longer directly called as
__attribute__((constructor)) in static linked version, it is called
only after passed the checking of presense of stamp symbol:
qemu_stamp_$RELEASEHASH
where $RELEASEHASH is generated by hashing version strings and content
of configure script.
With this, modules built from a different tree/version/configure will
not be loaded.
The module loading code requires gmodule-2.0.
Modules are searched under
- CONFIG_MODDIR
- executable folder (to allow running qemu-{img,io} in the build
directory)
- ../ of executable folder (to allow running system emulator in the
build directory)
Modules are linked under their subdir respectively, then copied to top
level of build directory for above convinience, e.g.:
$(BUILD_DIR)/block/curl.so -> $(BUILD_DIR)/block-curl.so
