The patch adds some preparation parts for incompatible compression type
feature to qcow2 allowing the use different compression methods for
image clusters (de)compressing.
It is implied that the compression type is set on the image creation and
can be changed only later by image conversion, thus compression type
defines the only compression algorithm used for the image, and thus,
for all image clusters.
The goal of the feature is to add support of other compression methods
to qcow2. For example, ZSTD which is more effective on compression than ZLIB.
The default compression is ZLIB. Images created with ZLIB compression type
are backward compatible with older qemu versions.
Adding of the compression type breaks a number of tests because now the
compression type is reported on image creation and there are some changes
in the qcow2 header in size and offsets.
The tests are fixed in the following ways:
* filter out compression_type for many tests
* fix header size, feature table size and backing file offset
affected tests: 031, 036, 061, 080
header_size +=8: 1 byte compression type
7 bytes padding
feature_table += 48: incompatible feature compression type
backing_file_offset += 56 (8 + 48 -> header_change + feature_table_change)
* add "compression type" for test output matching when it isn't filtered
affected tests: 049, 060, 061, 065, 082, 085, 144, 182, 185, 198, 206,
242, 255, 274, 280

The feature table is supposed to advertise the name of all feature
bits that we support; however, we forgot to update the table for
autoclear bits. While at it, move the table to read-only memory in
code, and tweak the qcow2 spec to name the second autoclear bit.
Update iotests that are affected by the longer header length.

This test can run just fine with other values for refcount_bits, so we
should filter the value from qcow2.py's dump-header. In fact, we can
filter everything but the feature bits and header extensions, because
that is what the test is about.
(036 currently ignores user-specified image options, but that will be
fixed in the next patch.)

This adds basic constants, struct fields and helper function for
external data file support to the implementation.
QCOW2_INCOMPAT_MASK and QCOW2_AUTOCLEAR_MASK are not updated yet so that
opening images with an external data file still fails (we don't handle
them correctly yet).

Just specifying a custom string is simpler in basically all places that
used it, and in addition, specifying the BB or node name is something we
generally do not do in other error messages when opening a BDS, so we
should not do it here.
This changes the output for iotest 036 (to the better, in my opinion),
so the reference output needs to be changed accordingly.

When creating a qcow2 image, we didn't necessarily call
qcow2_update_header(), but could end up with the basic header that
qcow2_create2() created manually. One thing that this basic header
lacks is the feature table. Let's make sure that it's always present.
This requires a few updates to test cases as well.

qcow2's report_unsupported_feature() had two bugs: A 32 bit truncation
would prevent feature table entries for bits 32-63 from being used, and
it could assign errp multiple times if there was more than one unknown
feature, resulting in an error_set() assertion failure.
Fix the truncation, make sure to set the error exactly once and add a
qemu-iotests case for it.

Lazy refcounts is a performance optimization for qcow2 that postpones
refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty. In the
case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state
and repaired next time it is opened.
Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and
cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk
after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in
RAM). Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address
translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of
write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount
optimization.
The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough
