Unallocated sectors should really never be accessed by the guest,
so there's no need to copy them during the streaming process.
If they are read by the guest during streaming, guest-initiated
copy-on-read will copy them (we're in the base == NULL case, which
enables copy on read). If they are read after we disconnect the
image from the base, they will read as zeroes anyway.

This fixes inability to make progress in streaming if the quota is set
to less than the amount of data that an I/O operation has to write.
In this case, limit->dispatched + n will always be above the quota and,
due to the "goto retry" to recheck cancellation and allocation, streaming
will livelock.
This can be reproduced with "block_job_set_speed ide0-hd0 1b". Of course,
with this patch the requested limit will not be obeyed. That could be
done with another patch that caps is_allocated's n argument by the slice
quota.

When an image is modified to point to the new backing file, the backing
file format is set to NULL, which means auto-probe. This is wrong, in
fact it is a small security problem.

The limitation on not having I/O after cancellation cannot really be
kept. Even streaming has a very small race window where you could
cancel a job and have it report completion. If this window is hit,
bdrv_change_backing_file() will yield and possibly cause accesses to
dangling pointers etc.
So, let's just assume that we cannot know exactly what will happen
after the coroutine has set busy to false. We can set a very lax
condition:
- if we cancel the job, the coroutine won't set it to false again
(and hence will not call co_sleep_ns again).
- block_job_cancel_sync will wait for the coroutine to exit, which
pretty much ensures no race.
Instead, we track the coroutine that executes the job and put very
strict conditions on what to do while it is quiescent (busy = false).
First of all, the coroutine must never set busy = false while the job
has been cancelled. Second, the coroutine can be reentered arbitrarily
while it is quiescent, so you cannot really do anything but co_sleep_ns at
that time. This condition is obeyed by the block_job_sleep_ns function.

These are needed to print "info block" output correctly. QCOW2 does this
because it needs it to write the header, but QED does not, and common code
is the right place to do it.

Allow streaming operations to be started with an initial speed limit.
This eliminates the window of time between starting streaming and
issuing block-job-set-speed. Users should use the new optional 'speed'
parameter instead so that speed limits are in effect immediately when
the job starts.

There are at least two different errors that can occur in
block_job_set_speed(): the job might not support setting speeds or the
value might be invalid.
Use the Error mechanism to report the error where it occurs.

The block job API uses -errno return values internally and we convert
these to Error in the QMP functions. This is ugly because the Error
should be created at the point where we still have all the relevant
information. More importantly, it is hard to add new error cases to
this case since we quickly run out of -errno values without losing
information.
Go ahead and use Error directly and don't convert later.

Streaming can issue I/O while qcow2_close is running. This causes the
L2 caches to become very confused or, alternatively, could cause a
segfault when the streaming coroutine is reentered after closing its
block device. The fix is to cancel streaming jobs when closing their
underlying device.
The cancellation must be synchronous, on the other hand qemu_aio_wait
will not restart a coroutine that is sleeping in co_sleep. So add
a flag saying whether streaming has in-flight I/O. If the busy flag
is false, the coroutine is quiescent and, when cancelled, will not
issue any new I/O.
This protects streaming against closing, but not against deleting.
We have a reference count protecting us against concurrent deletion,
but I still added an assertion to ensure nothing bad happens.
