This adds a rebase subcommand to qemu-img which allows to change the backing
file of an image.
In default mode, both the current and the new backing file need to exist, and
after the rebase, the COW image is guaranteed to have the same guest visible
content as before. To achieve this, old and new backing file are compared and,
if necessary, data is copied from the old backing file into the COW image.
With -u an unsafe mode is enabled that doesn't require the backing files to
exist. It merely changes the backing file reference in the COW image. This is
useful for renaming or moving the backing file. The user is responsible to make
sure that the new backing file has no changes compared to the old one, or
corruption may occur.

If an image references a backing file that doesn't exist, qemu-img info fails
to open this image. Exactly in this case the info would be valuable, though:
the user might want to find out which file is missing.
This patch introduces a BDRV_O_NO_BACKING flag to ignore the backing file when
opening the image. qemu-img info is the first user and provides info now even
if the backing file is invalid.

The old options are still supported for compatibility, but they are
inconsistent (for example create -b vs. convert -B for backing files) and
incomplete (-F only exists for create) which tends to confuse people. Remove
all references to the old options from the documentation to guide users to the
more consistent -o options.

This patch increases the maximum qcow2 cluster size to 2 MB. Starting with 128k
clusters, L2 tables span 2 GB or more of virtual disk space, causing 32 bit
truncation and wraparound of signed integers. Therefore some variables need to
use a larger data type.
While being at reviewing data types, change some integers that are used for
array indices to unsigned. In some places they were checked against some upper
limit but not for negative values. This could avoid potential segfaults with
corrupted qcow2 images.

This patch changes qemu-img to actually use the new bdrv_create interface. It

parameters or flags so far to option structures. As the generic approach, it

Now we can make use of the newly introduced option structures. Instead of
having bdrv_create carry more and more parameters (which are format specific in
most cases), just pass a option structure as defined by the driver itself.
bdrv_create2() contains an emulation of the old interface to simplify the
transition.

This patch allows the use a host_device as the destination for "qemu-img
convert".
I added a ->bdrv_create function host_device. It merely verifies that
the device exists and is large enough.
A check is needed in the qemu-img convert loop to ensure that we write
out all 0 sectors to the host_device. Otherwise they end up with stale
garbage where all zero sectors were expected.
I also made the check against bdrv_is_allocated enabled for everything
_except_ host devices, since there is no point in making the block
backend write a bunch of zeros just so that we can memcmp them
immediately afterwards. Host devices can't benefit from this because
there is no way to differentiate between a sector being unallocated
because it was never written, or because it was written with all zeros
and then made a trip through qemu-img convert.
Finally, there is an unrelated fix for a typo in the error message
printed if the destination device does not support ->bdrv_create.

If the user specifies the backing file format,
then when opening the backing file, there is no need
to probe the (backing file) image to figure out its format.
This follows my previous patches implementing bdrv_create2
which keeps (for qcow2 only) the backing file format
as a qcow2-extension
