We need some way to correlate QAPI BlockPermission values with
BLK_PERM_* flags. We could:
(1) have the same order in the QAPI definition as the the BLK_PERM_*
flags are in LSb-first order. However, then there is no guarantee
that they actually match (e.g. when someone modifies the QAPI schema
without thinking of the BLK_PERM_* definitions).
We could add static assertions, but these would break what’s good
about this solution, namely its simplicity.
(2) define the BLK_PERM_* flags based on the BlockPermission values.
But this way whenever someone were to modify the QAPI order
(perfectly sensible in theory), the BLK_PERM_* values would change.
Because these values are used for file locking, this might break
file locking between different qemu versions.
Therefore, go the slightly more cumbersome way: Add a function to
translate from the QAPI constants to the BLK_PERM_* flags.
