[PATCH v3 00/19] Make image fleecing more usable

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

v3: Rebase on master, small qapi docs improvements suggested by Markus

There several improvements to fleecing scheme:

1. support bitmap in copy-before-write filter

2. introduce fleecing block driver, which opens the door for a lot of
   image fleecing improvements.
   See "block: introduce fleecing block driver" commit message for
   details.

3. support "push backup with fleecing" scheme, when backup job is a
   client of common fleecing scheme. That helps when writes to final
   backup target are slow and we don't want guest writes hang waiting
   for copy-before-write operations to final target.

Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy (19):
  block/block-copy: move copy_bitmap initialization to
    block_copy_state_new()
  block/dirty-bitmap: bdrv_merge_dirty_bitmap(): add return value

  iotests/image-fleecing: add test-case for fleecing format node
  iotests.py: add qemu_io_pipe_and_status()
  iotests/image-fleecing: add test case with bitmap
  block: blk_root(): return non-const pointer
