block/file: switch to use qemu_open/qemu_create for improved errors
Currently at startup if using cache=none on a filesystem lacking O_DIRECT such as tmpfs, at startup QEMU prints qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/tmp/foo.img,cache=none: file system may not support O_DIRECT qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/tmp/foo.img,cache=none: Could not open '/tmp/foo.img': Invalid argument while at QMP level the hint is missing, so QEMU reports just "error": { "class": "GenericError", "desc": "Could not open '/tmp/foo.img': Invalid argument" } which is close to useless for the end user trying to figure out what they did wrong. With this change at startup QEMU prints qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/tmp/foo.img,cache=none: Unable to open '/tmp/foo.img': filesystem does not support O_DIRECT while at the QMP level QEMU reports a massively more informative "error": { "class": "GenericError", "desc": "Unable to open '/tmp/foo.img': filesystem does not support O_DIRECT" } Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
