[PATCH v4 00/35] block: publish backup-top filter

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Hi all!

v4: rebase on Kevin's block branch
v3: Keep x-perf.copy-range backup option.

So, additional function is added to set copy_range in block-copy after creation.
And if we do so, it's better to set "compress" option same way instead of 
handling
x-deprecated-compress option.

8: rebased on not yet remove @perf argument, keep r-b
11, 21, 23: small related rebase conflicts, keep r-b
9, 10, 19: new
20: drop x-deprecated-compress option, drop r-b
24: fix typo
34: fix qmp( , **{}) to qmp( , {})

also, add a lot of Max's r-bs, thanks!!!

So, patches without r-b: 9, 10, 19, 20

v2:
01-02: new
03: don't bother with supporting empty child: we should never have such
    at this point
05: add comment
06: keep checking conflict with global
    add realized_set_allowed to qdev_prop_drive_iothread
07: improve cbw_cbw() name
    improve commit message
10: rebased on unchanged backup_calculate_cluster_size(). keep r-b  CHECK ME
12: new
13: drop extra bdrv_unref()
18: add compress local variable
    add comment about x-deprecated-compress
19: new, replacement for "[PATCH 17/21] block/block-copy: switch to fully set 
bitmap by default"
22: improve qapi documentation
23-33: test: a lot of refactoring

We have image fleecing scheme to export point-in-time state of active
disk (iotest 222):


                                      backup(sync=none)
                     ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
                     ▼                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing             ┌─────────────┐
│ NBD export │ ─── │ temp qcow2 img │ ───────────────────▶ │ active disk │
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘                      └─────────────┘
                                                             ▲
┌────────────┐                                               │
│ guest blk  │ ──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
└────────────┘                        


Actually, backup job inserts a backup-top filter, so in detail it looks
like:

                                      backup(sync=none)
                     ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
                     ▼                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing             ┌─────────────┐
│ NBD export │ ─── │ temp qcow2 img │ ───────────────────▶ │ active disk │
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘                      └─────────────┘
                     ▲                                       ▲
                     │ target                                │
                     │                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing               │
│ guest blk  │ ──▶ │   backup-top   │ ───────────────────────┘
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘

And job does nothing here. In a new blockdev world user is intended to
operate on node level, and insert/remove filters by hand. Let's get rid
of job in the scheme:

┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing             ┌─────────────┐
│ NBD export │ ─── │ temp qcow2 img │ ───────────────────▶ │ active disk │
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘                      └─────────────┘
                     ▲                                       ▲
                     │ target                                │
                     │                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing               │
│ guest blk  │ ──▶ │   backup-top   │ ───────────────────────┘
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘


The series prepares qom-set to make possible inserting filters above
root node (patches 03-06), rename backup-top to copy-before-write, do
other preparations for publishing the filter, and finally publish it,
add qapi interface and test new fleecing scheme in 222 (first, some
good test refactoring).
