Check that every bs file returns the same length.
Otherwise, return -EIO to disable the quorum and
avoid length discrepancy.

This patchset enables the core of the quorum mechanism.
The num_children reads are compared to get the majority version and if this
version exists more than threshold times the guest won't see the error at all.
If a block is corrupted or if an error occurs during an IO or if the quorum
cannot be established QMP events are used to report to the management.
Use gnutls's SHA-256 to compare versions.
--enable-quorum must be used to enable the feature.

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.
This patch creates the driver C source file and introduces the structures that
will be used in asynchronous reads and writes.
