This patch adds sync-modes to the drive-backup interface and
implements the FULL, NONE and TOP modes of synchronization.
FULL performs as before copying the entire contents of the drive
while preserving the point-in-time using CoW.
NONE only copies new writes to the target drive.
TOP copies changes to the topmost drive image and preserves the
point-in-time using CoW.
For sync mode TOP are creating a new target image using the same backing
file as the original disk image. Then any new data that has been laid
on top of it since creation is copied in the main backup_run() loop.
There is an extra check in the 'TOP' case so that we don't bother to copy
all the data of the backing file as it already exists in the target.
This is where the bdrv_co_is_allocated() is used to determine if the
data exists in the topmost layer or below.
Also any new data being written is intercepted via the write_notifier
hook which ends up calling backup_do_cow() to copy old data out before
it gets overwritten.
For mode 'NONE' we create the new target image and only copy in the
original data from the disk image starting from the time the call was
made. This preserves the point in time data by only copying the parts
that are *going to change* to the target image. This way we can
reconstruct the final image by checking to see if the given block exists
in the new target image first, and if it does not, you can get it from
the original image. This is basically an optimization allowing you to
do point-in-time snapshots with low overhead vs the 'FULL' version.
Since there is no old data to copy out the loop in backup_run() for the
NONE case just calls qemu_coroutine_yield() which only wakes up after
an event (usually cancel in this case). The rest is handled by the
before_write notifier which again calls backup_do_cow() to write out
the old data so it can be preserved.

backup_start() creates a block job that copies a point-in-time snapshot
of a block device to a target block device.
We call backup_do_cow() for each write during backup. That function
reads the original data from the block device before it gets
overwritten. The data is then written to the target device.
Currently backup cluster size is hardcoded to 65536 bytes.
[I made a number of changes to Dietmar's original patch and folded them
in to make code review easy. Here is the full list:
* Drop BackupDumpFunc interface in favor of a target block device
* Detect zero clusters with buffer_is_zero() and use bdrv_co_write_zeroes()
* Use 0 delay instead of 1us, like other block jobs
* Unify creation/start functions into backup_start()
* Simplify cleanup, free bitmap in backup_run() instead of cb
* function
* Use HBitmap to avoid duplicating bitmap code
* Use bdrv_getlength() instead of accessing ->total_sectors
* directly
* Delete the backup.h header file, it is no longer necessary
* Move ./backup.c to block/backup.c
* Remove #ifdefed out code
* Coding style and whitespace cleanups
* Use bdrv_add_before_write_notifier() instead of blockjob-specific hooks
* Keep our own in-flight CowRequest list instead of using block.c
tracked requests. This means a little code duplication but is much
simpler than trying to share the tracked requests list and use the
backup block size.
* Add on_source_error and on_target_error error handling.
* Use trace events instead of DPRINTF()

The bdrv_add_before_write_notifier() function installs a callback that
is invoked before a write request is processed. This will be used to
implement copy-on-write point-in-time snapshots where we need to copy
out old data before overwriting it.
Note that BdrvTrackedRequest is moved to block_int.h since it is passed
to .notify() functions.

This patch is a pure code move patch, except following modification:
1 get_human_readable_size() is changed to static function.
2 dump_human_image_info() is renamed to bdrv_image_info_dump().
3 in qmp_query_block() and qmp_query_blockstats, use bdrv_next(bs)
instead of direct traverse of global array 'bdrv_states'.
4 collect_snapshots() and collect_image_info() are renamed, unused parameter
*fmt in collect_image_info() is removed.
5 code style fix.
To avoid conflict and tip better, macro in header file is BLOCK_QAPI_H
instead of QAPI_H. Now block.h and snapshot.h are at the same level in
include path, block_int.h and qapi.h will both include them.

It is not necessary to adjust the slice time at runtime. We already
extend the current slice in order to carry over accounting into the next
slice. Changing the actual slice time value introduces oscillations.
The guest may experience large changes in throughput or IOPS from one
moment to the next when slice times are adjusted.

I/O throttling relies on bdrv_acct_done() which is called when a request
completes. This leaves a blind spot since we only charge for completed
requests, not submitted requests.
For example, if there is 1 operation remaining in this time slice the
guest could submit 3 operations and they will all be submitted
successfully since they don't actually get accounted for until they
complete.
Originally we probably thought this is okay since the requests will be
accounted when the time slice is extended. In practice it causes
fluctuations since the guest can exceed its I/O limit and it will be
punished for this later on.
Account for I/O upon submission so that I/O limits are enforced
properly.

After this patch, using -drive with an empty file name continues to open
the file if driver-specific options are used. If no driver-specific
options are specified, the semantics stay as it was: It defines a drive
without an inserted medium.
In order to achieve this, bdrv_open() must be made safe to work with a
NULL filename parameter. The assumption that is made is that only block
drivers which implement bdrv_parse_filename() support using driver
specific options and could therefore work without a filename. These
drivers must make sure to cope with NULL in their implementation of
.bdrv_open() (this is only NBD for now). For all other drivers, the
block layer code will make sure to error out before calling into their
code - they can't possibly work without a filename.
Now an NBD connection can be opened like this:
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.driver=nbd,file.port=1234,file.host=::1

If a driver needs structured data and not just a string, it can provide
a .bdrv_parse_filename callback now that parses the command line string
into separate options. Keeping this separate from .bdrv_open_filename
ensures that the preferred way of directly specifying the options always
works as well if parsing the string works.

For now bdrv_get_aio_context() is just a stub that calls
qemu_aio_get_context() since the block layer is currently tied to the
main loop AioContext.
Add the stub now so that the block layer can begin accessing its
AioContext.

Introduce a new option "adapter_type" when converting to vmdk images.
It can be one of the following: ide (default), buslogic, lsilogic
or legacyESX (according to the vmdk spec from vmware).
In case of a non-ide adapter, heads is set to 255 instead of the 16.
The latter is used for "ide".

The desired granularity may be very different depending on the kind of
operation (e.g. continuous replication vs. collapse-to-raw) and whether
the VM is expected to perform lots of I/O while mirroring is in progress.
Allow the user to customize it, while providing a sane default so that
in general there will be no extra allocated space in the target compared
to the source.
