Allow the server to expose an additional metacontext to be requested
by savvy clients. qemu-nbd adds a new option -A to expose the
qemu:allocation-depth metacontext through NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS; this
can also be set via QMP when using block-export-add.
qemu as client is hacked into viewing the key aspects of this new
context by abusing the already-experimental x-dirty-bitmap option to
collapse all depths greater than 2, which results in a tri-state value
visible in the output of 'qemu-img map --output=json' (yes, that means
x-dirty-bitmap is now a bit of a misnomer, but I didn't feel like
renaming it as it would introduce a needless break of back-compat,
even though we make no compat guarantees with x- members):
unallocated (depth 0) => "zero":false, "data":true
local (depth 1) => "zero":false, "data":false
backing (depth 2+) => "zero":true, "data":true
libnbd as client is probably a nicer way to get at the information
without having to decipher such hacks in qemu as client. ;)

Since 'block-export-add' is new to 5.2, we can still tweak the
interface; there, allowing 'bitmaps':['str'] is nicer than
'bitmap':'str'. This wires up the qapi and qemu-nbd changes to permit
passing multiple bitmaps as distinct metadata contexts that the NBD
client may request, but the actual support for more than one will
require a further patch to the server.
Note that there are no changes made to the existing deprecated
'nbd-server-add' command; this required splitting the QAPI type
BlockExportOptionsNbd, which fortunately does not affect QMP
introspection.

Allow the number of queues to be configured using --export
vhost-user-blk,num-queues=N. This setting should match the QEMU --device
vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=N setting but QEMU vhost-user-blk.c lowers
its own value if the vhost-user-blk backend offers fewer queues than
QEMU.
The vhost-user-blk-server.c code is already capable of multi-queue. All
virtqueue processing runs in the same AioContext. No new locking is
needed.
Add the num-queues=N option and set the VIRTIO_BLK_F_MQ feature bit.
Note that the feature bit only announces the presence of the num_queues
configuration space field. It does not promise that there is more than 1
virtqueue, so we can set it unconditionally.
I tested multi-queue by running a random read fio test with numjobs=4 on
an -smp 4 guest. After the benchmark finished the guest /proc/interrupts
file showed activity on all 4 virtio-blk MSI-X. The /sys/block/vda/mq/
directory shows that Linux blk-mq has 4 queues configured.
An automated test is included in the next commit.

Make it possible to specify the iothread where the export will run. By
default the block node can be moved to other AioContexts later and the
export will follow. The fixed-iothread option forces strict behavior
that prevents changing AioContext while the export is active. See the
QAPI docs for details.

Use the new QAPI block exports API instead of defining our own QOM
objects.
This is a large change because the lifecycle of VuBlockDev needs to
follow BlockExportDriver. QOM properties are replaced by QAPI options
objects.
VuBlockDev is renamed VuBlkExport and contains a BlockExport field.
Several fields can be dropped since BlockExport already has equivalents.
The file names and meson build integration will be adjusted in a future
patch. libvhost-user should probably be built as a static library that
is linked into QEMU instead of as a .c file that results in duplicate
compilation.
The new command-line syntax is:
$ qemu-storage-daemon \
--blockdev file,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img \
--export vhost-user-blk,node-name=drive0,id=export0,unix-socket=/tmp/vhost-user-blk.sock
Note that unix-socket is optional because we may wish to accept chardevs
too in the future.
Markus noted that supported address families are not explicit in the
QAPI schema. It is unlikely that support for more address families will
be added since file descriptor passing is required and few address
families support it. If a new address family needs to be added, then the
QAPI 'features' syntax can be used to advertize them.

We'll need an id to identify block exports in monitor commands. This
adds one.
Note that this is different from the 'name' option in the NBD server,
which is the externally visible export name. While block export ids need
to be unique in the whole process, export names must be unique only for
the same server. Different export types or (potentially in the future)
multiple NBD servers can have the same export name externally, but still
need different block export ids internally.

Every block export needs a block node to export, so add a 'node-name'
option to BlockExportOptions and remove the replaced option 'device'
from BlockExportOptionsNbd.
To maintain compatibility in nbd-server-add, BlockExportOptionsNbd needs
to be wrapped by a new type NbdServerAddOptions that adds 'device' back
because nbd-server-add doesn't use the BlockExportOptions base type at
all (so even without changing it to a 'node-name' option in
block-export-add, this compatibility code would be necessary).
