Commit 93bb3d8d4c ("virtiofsd: remove symlink fallbacks") removed
the implementation of the "norace" option, so remove it from the
cmdline help and the documentation too.

Right now we enable remote posix locks by default. That means when guest
does a posix lock it sends request to server (virtiofsd). But currently
we only support non-blocking posix lock and return -EOPNOTSUPP for
blocking version.
This means that existing applications which are doing blocking posix
locks get -EOPNOTSUPP and fail. To avoid this, people have been
running virtiosd with option "-o no_posix_lock". For new users it
is still a surprise and trial and error takes them to this option.
Given posix lock implementation is not complete in virtiofsd, disable
it by default. This means that posix locks will work with-in applications
in a guest but not across guests. Anyway we don't support sharing
filesystem among different guests yet in virtiofs so this should
not lead to any kind of surprise or regression and will make life
little easier for virtiofs users.

The use of 'qemu-img amend' to change qcow2 backing files is not
tested very well. In particular, our implementation has a bug where
if a new backing file is provided without a format, then the prior
format is blindly reused, even if this results in data corruption, but
this is not caught by iotests.
There are also situations where amending other options needs access to
the original backing file (for example, on a downgrade to a v2 image,
knowing whether a v3 zero cluster must be allocated or may be left
unallocated depends on knowing whether the backing file already reads
as zero), but the command line does not have a nice way to tell us
both the backing file to use for opening the image as well as the
backing file to install after the operation is complete.
Even if we do allow changing the backing file, it is redundant with
the existing ability to change backing files via 'qemu-img rebase -u'.
It is time to deprecate this support (leaving the existing behavior
intact, even if it is buggy), and at a point in the future, require
the use of only 'qemu-img rebase' for adjusting backing chain
relations, saving 'qemu-img amend' for changes unrelated to the
backing chain.

'force' option will be used for some unsafe amend operations.
This includes things like erasing last keyslot in luks based formats
(which destroys the data, unless the master key is backed up
by external means), but that _might_ be desired result.

Make it easier to copy all the persistent bitmaps of (the top layer
of) a source image along with its guest-visible contents, by adding a
boolean flag for use with qemu-img convert. This is basically
shorthand, as the same effect could be accomplished with a series of
'qemu-img bitmap --add' and 'qemu-img bitmap --merge -b source'
commands, or by their corresponding QMP commands.
Note that this command will fail in the same scenarios where 'qemu-img
measure' omits a 'bitmaps size:' line, namely, when either the source
or the destination lacks persistent bitmap support altogether.

It's useful to know how much space can be occupied by qcow2 persistent
bitmaps, even though such metadata is unrelated to the guest-visible
data. Report this value as an additional QMP field, present when
measuring an existing image and output format that both support
bitmaps. Update iotest 178 and 190 to updated output, as well as new
coverage in 190 demonstrating non-zero values made possible with the
recently-added qemu-img bitmap command (see 3b51ab4b).
The new 'bitmaps size:' field is displayed automatically as part of
'qemu-img measure' any time it is present in QMP (that is, any time
both the source image being measured and destination format support
bitmaps, even if the measurement is 0 because there are no bitmaps
present). If the field is absent, it means that no bitmaps can be
copied (source, destination, or both lack bitmaps, including when
measuring based on size rather than on a source image). This behavior
is compatible with an upcoming patch adding 'qemu-img convert
--bitmaps': that command will fail in the same situations where this
patch omits the field.
The addition of a new field demonstrates why we should always
zero-initialize qapi C structs; while the qcow2 driver still fully
populates all fields, the raw and crypto drivers had to be tweaked to
avoid uninitialized data.
Consideration was also given towards having a 'qemu-img measure
--bitmaps' which errors out when bitmaps are not possible, and
otherwise sums the bitmaps into the existing allocation totals rather
than displaying as a separate field, as a potential convenience
factor. But this was ultimately decided to be more complexity than
necessary when the QMP interface was sufficient enough with bitmaps
remaining a separate field.

Include actions for --add, --remove, --clear, --enable, --disable, and
--merge (note that --clear is a bit of fluff, because the same can be
accomplished by removing a bitmap and then adding a new one in its
place, but it matches what QMP commands exist). Listing is omitted,
because it does not require a bitmap name and because it was already
possible with 'qemu-img info'. A single command line can play one or
more bitmap commands in sequence on the same bitmap name (although all
added bitmaps share the same granularity, and and all merged bitmaps
come from the same source file). Merge defaults to other bitmaps in
the primary image, but can also be told to merge bitmaps from a
distinct image.
While this supports --image-opts for the file being modified, I did
not think it worth the extra complexity to support that for the source
file in a cross-file merges. Likewise, I chose to have --merge only
take a single source rather than following the QMP support for
multiple merges in one go (although you can still use more than one
--merge in the command line); in part because qemu-img is offline and
therefore atomicity is not an issue.
Upcoming patches will add iotest coverage of these commands while
also testing other features.

Additionally when mapping fails there was no way recover by
