throttle: Add throttle group support
The throttle group support use a cooperative round robin scheduling algorithm. The principles of the algorithm are simple: - Each BDS of the group is used as a token in a circular way. - The active BDS computes if a wait must be done and arms the right timer. - If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token will become the next active BDS.

# Change I/O throttle limits for a block drive.
#
+# Since QEMU 2.4, each device with I/O limits is member of a throttle
+# group.
+#
+# If two or more devices are members of the same group, the limits
+# will apply to the combined I/O of the whole group in a round-robin
+# fashion. Therefore, setting new I/O limits to a device will affect
+# the whole group.
+#
+# The name of the group can be specified using the 'group' parameter.
+# If the parameter is unset, it is assumed to be the current group of
+# that device. If it's not in any group yet, the name of the device
+# will be used as the name for its group.
+#
+# The 'group' parameter can also be used to move a device to a
+# different group. In this case the limits specified in the parameters
+# will be applied to the new group only.
+#
+# I/O limits can be disabled by setting all of them to 0. In this case
+# the device will be removed from its group and the rest of its
+# members will no be affected. The 'group' parameter is ignored.
+#
