change_parent_backing_link() will need to update multiple BdrvChild
objects at once. Checking permissions reference by reference doesn't
work because permissions need to be consistent only with all parents
moved to the new child.

Aborting on error in bdrv_append() isn't correct. This patch fixes it
and lets the callers handle failures.
Test case 085 needs a reference output update. This is caused by the
reversed order of bdrv_set_backing_hd() and change_parent_backing_link()
in bdrv_append(): When the backing file of the new node is set, the
parent nodes are still pointing to the old top, so the backing blocker
is now initialised with the node name rather than the BlockBackend name.

Backing files are somewhat special compared to other kinds of children
because they are attached and detached using bdrv_set_backing_hd()
rather than the normal set of functions, which does a few more things
like setting backing blockers, toggling the BDRV_O_NO_BACKING flag,
setting parent_bs->backing_file, etc.
These special features are a reason why change_parent_backing_link()
can't handle backing files yet. With abstracting the additional features
into .attach/.detach callbacks, we get a step closer to a function that
can actually deal with this.

We want every user to be specific about the permissions it needs, so
we'll pass the initial permissions as parameters to blk_new(). A user
only needs to call blk_set_perm() if it wants to change the permissions
after the fact.
The permissions are stored in the BlockBackend and applied whenever a
BlockDriverState should be attached in blk_insert_bs().
This does not include actually choosing the right set of permissions

Almost all format drivers have the same characteristics as far as
permissions are concerned: They have one or more children for storing
their own data and, more importantly, metadata (can be written to and
grow even without external write requests, must be protected against
other writers and present consistent data) and optionally a backing file
(this is just data, so like for a filter, it only depends on what the
parent nodes need).
This provides a default implementation that can be shared by most of
our format drivers.

In many cases, the required permissions of one node on its children
depend on what its parents require from it. For example, the raw format
or most filter drivers only need to request consistent reads if that's
something that one of their parents wants.
In order to achieve this, this patch introduces two new BlockDriver
callbacks. The first one lets drivers first check (recursively) whether
the requested permissions can be set; the second one actually sets the
new permission bitmask.
Also add helper functions that drivers can use in their implementation
of the callbacks to update their permissions on a specific child.

When attaching a node as a child to a new parent, the required and
shared permissions for this parent are checked against all other parents
of the node now, and an error is returned if there is a conflict.
This allows error returns to a function that previously always
succeeded, and the same is true for quite a few callers and their
callers. Converting all of them within the same patch would be too much,
so for now everyone tells that they don't need any permissions and allow
everyone else to do anything. This way we can use &error_abort initially
and convert caller by caller to pass actual permission requirements and
implement error handling.
All these places are marked with FIXME comments and it will be the job
of the next patches to clean them up again.

The way that attaching bs->file worked was a bit unusual in that it was
the only child that would be attached to a node which is not opened yet.
Because of this, the block layer couldn't know yet which permissions the
driver would eventually need.
This patch moves the point where bs->file is attached to the beginning
of the individual .bdrv_open() implementations, so drivers already know
what they are going to do with the child. This is also more consistent
with how driver-specific children work.
For a moment, bdrv_open() gets its own BdrvChild to perform image
probing, but instead of directly assigning this BdrvChild to the BDS, it
becomes a temporary one and the node name is passed as an option to the
drivers, so that they can simply use bdrv_open_child() to create another
reference for their own use.
This duplicated child for (the not opened yet) bs is not the final
state, a follow-up patch will change the image probing code to use a
BlockBackend, which is completely independent of bs.

2. child is not yet invalidated
3. parent check that its BDRV_O_INACTIVE is cleared
4. parent writes to child
5. assert in bdrv_co_pwritev, as BDRV_O_INACTIVE is set for child

In bdrv_find_backing_image(), if we are searching an image for a backing
file that contains a protocol, we currently only compare unmodified
paths.
However, some management software will change the backing filename to be
a relative filename in a path. QEMU is able to handle this fine,
because internally it will use path_combine to put together the full
protocol URI.
However, this can lead to an inability to match an image during a QAPI
command that needs to use bdrv_find_backing_image() to find the image,
when it is searched by the full URI.
When searching for a protocol filename, if the straight comparison
fails, this patch will also compare against the full backing filename to
see if that is a match.

When a BlockDriverState is about to be reopened it can trigger certain
operations that need to write to disk. During this process a different
block job can be woken up. If that block job completes and also needs
to call bdrv_reopen() it can happen that it needs to do it on the same
BlockDriverState that is still in the process of being reopened.
This can have fatal consequences, like in this example:
1) Block job A starts and sleeps after a while.
2) Block job B starts and tries to reopen node1 (a qcow2 file).
3) Reopening node1 means flushing and replacing its qcow2 cache.
4) While the qcow2 cache is being flushed, job A wakes up.
5) Job A completes and reopens node1, replacing its cache.
6) Job B resumes, but the cache that was being flushed no longer
exists.
This patch splits the bdrv_drain_all() call to keep all block jobs
paused during bdrv_reopen_multiple(), so that step 4 can never happen
and the operation is safe.
Note that this scenario can only happen if both bdrv_reopen() calls
are made by block jobs on the same backing chain. Otherwise there's no
chance that the same BlockDriverState appears in both reopen queues.

bdrv_reopen_queue_child() assumes that a BlockDriverState is never

This adds the "read-only" option to the QDict. One important effect of

existing "read-only" mode can be preserved if it was explicitly set
previously.
This addresses scenarios like this:
[E] <- [D] <- [C] <- [B] <- [A]
In this case, if we reopen [D] with read-only=off, and later reopen
[B], then [D] will not inherit read-only=on from its parent during the
bdrv_reopen_queue_child() stage.

If an image is opened with snapshot=on, its flags are modified by
bdrv_backing_options() and then bs->open_flags is updated accordingly.
This last step is unnecessary if we calculate the new flags before
setting bs->open_flags.
Soon we'll introduce the "read-only" option, and then we'll need to
be able to modify its value in the QDict when snapshot=on. This is
more cumbersome if bs->options is already set. This patch simplifies
that. Other than that, there are no semantic changes. Although it
might seem that bs->options can have a different value now because
it is stored after calling bdrv_backing_options(), this call doesn't
actually modify them in this scenario.

Extend the current module interface to allow for block drivers to be
loaded dynamically on request. The only block drivers that can be
converted into modules are the drivers that don't perform any init
operation except for registering themselves.
In addition, only the protocol drivers are being modularized, as they
are the only ones which see significant performance benefits. The format
drivers do not generally link to external libraries, so modularizing
them is of no benefit from a performance perspective.
All the necessary module information is located in a new structure found
in module_block.h
This spoils the purpose of 5505e8b76f (block/dmg: make it modular).
Before this patch, if module build is enabled, block-dmg.so is linked to
libbz2, whereas the main binary is not. In downstream, theoretically, it
means only the qemu-block-extra package depends on libbz2, while the
main QEMU package needn't to. With this patch, we (temporarily) change
the case so that the main QEMU depends on libbz2 again.
