When running the command `qemu-img snapshot -l SNAPSHOT` the output of
VM_CLOCK (measures the offset between host and VM clock) cannot to
accommodate values in the order of thousands (4-digit).
This line [1] hints on the problem. Additionally, the column width for
the VM_CLOCK field was reduced from 15 to 13 spaces in commit b39847a5
in line [2], resulting in a shortage of space.

This patch restores the column width to 15 spaces and makes adjustments
to the affected iotests accordingly. Furthermore, addresses a potential
source
of confusion by removing whitespace in column headers. Example, VM CLOCK
is modified to VM_CLOCK. Additionally a '--' symbol is introduced when
ICOUNT returns no output for clarity.

Currently the vmstate will be stored in the first block device that
supports snapshots. Historically this would have usually been the
root device, but with UEFI it might be the variable store. There
needs to be a way to override the choice of block device to store
the state in.

The bdrv_all_*_snapshot functions return a BlockDriverState pointer
for the invalid backend, which the callers then use to report an
error message. In some cases multiple callers are reporting the
same error message, but with slightly different text. In the future
there will be more error scenarios for some of these methods, which
will benefit from fine grained error message reporting. So it is
helpful to push error reporting down a level.

Saving icount as a parameters of the snapshot allows navigation between
them in the execution replay scenario.
This information can be used for finding a specific snapshot for proceeding
the recorded execution to the specific moment of the time.
E.g., 'reverse step' action (introduced in one of the following patches)
needs to load the nearest snapshot which is prior to the current moment
of time.
This patch also updates snapshot test which verifies qemu monitor output.

With blockdev, a BlockDriverState may not have a device name,
so using a node name is required as an alternative.

There are many existing qcow2 images that specify a backing file but
no format. This has been the source of CVEs in the past, but has
become more prominent of a problem now that libvirt has switched to
-blockdev. With older -drive, at least the probing was always done by
qemu (so the only risk of a changed format between successive boots of
a guest was if qemu was upgraded and probed differently). But with
newer -blockdev, libvirt must specify a format; if libvirt guesses raw
where the image was formatted, this results in data corruption visible
to the guest; conversely, if libvirt guesses qcow2 where qemu was
using raw, this can result in potential security holes, so modern
libvirt instead refuses to use images without explicit backing format.
The change in libvirt to reject images without explicit backing format
has pointed out that a number of tools have been far too reliant on
probing in the past. It's time to set a better example in our own
iotests of properly setting this parameter.
iotest calls to create, rebase, and convert are all impacted to some
degree. It's a bit annoying that we are inconsistent on command line
- while all of those accept -o backing_file=...,backing_fmt=..., the
shortcuts are different: create and rebase have -b and -F, while
convert has -B but no -F. (amend has no shortcuts, but the previous
patch just deprecated the use of amend to change backing chains).
