qapi: backup: add perf.use-copy-range parameter
Experiments show, that copy_range is not always making things faster. So, to make experimentation simpler, let's add a parameter. Some more perf parameters will be added soon, so here is a new struct. For now, add new backup qmp parameter with x- prefix for the following reasons: - We are going to add more performance parameters, some will be related to the whole block-copy process, some only to background copying in backup (ignored for copy-before-write operations). - On the other hand, we are going to use block-copy interface in other block jobs, which will need performance options as well.. And it should be the same structure or at least somehow related. So, there are too much unclean things about how the interface and now we need the new options mostly for testing. Let's keep them experimental for a while. In do_backup_common() new x-perf parameter handled in a way to make further options addition simpler. We add use-copy-range with default=true, and we'll change the default in further patch, after moving backup to use block-copy.
