Or, rather, force the open of a backing image if one was specified
for creation. Using a similar -unsafe option as rebase, allow qemu-img
to ignore the backing file validation if possible.
It may not always be possible, as in the existing case when a filesize
for the new image was not specified.
This is accomplished by shifting around the conditionals in
bdrv_img_create, such that a backing file is always opened unless we
provide BDRV_O_NO_BACKING. qemu-img is adjusted to pass this new flag
when -u is provided to create.
Sorry for the heinous looking diffstat, but it's mostly whitespace.

The '--image-opts' flag indicates whether the source filename
includes options. The target filename has to remain in the
plain filename format though, since it needs to be passed to
bdrv_create(). When using --skip-create though, it would be
possible to use image-opts syntax. This adds --target-image-opts
to indicate that the target filename includes options. Currently
this mandates use of the --skip-create flag too.

the convert process is currently completely implemented with sync operations.
That means it reads one buffer and then writes it. No parallelism and each sync
request takes as long as it takes until it is completed.
This can be a big performance hit when the convert process reads and writes
to devices which do not benefit from kernel readahead or pagecache.
In our environment we heavily have the following two use cases when using
qemu-img convert.
a) reading from NFS and writing to iSCSI for deploying templates
b) reading from iSCSI and writing to NFS for backups
In both processes we use libiscsi and libnfs so we have no kernel cache.
This patch changes the convert process to work with parallel running coroutines
which can significantly improve performance for network storage devices:
qemu-img (master)
nfs -> iscsi 22.8 secs
nfs -> ram 11.7 secs
ram -> iscsi 12.3 secs
qemu-img-async (8 coroutines, in-order write disabled)
nfs -> iscsi 11.0 secs
nfs -> ram 10.4 secs
ram -> iscsi 9.0 secs
This patches introduces 2 new cmdline parameters. The -m parameter to specify
the number of coroutines running in parallel (defaults to 8). And the -W parameter to
allow qemu-img to write to the target out of order rather than sequential. This improves
performance as the writes do not have to wait for each other to complete.

This patch adds a basic dd subcommand analogous to dd(1) to qemu-img.
For the start, this implements the bs, if, of and count options and requires
both if and of to be specified (no stdin/stdout if not specified) and doesn't
support tty, pipes, etc.
The image format must be specified with -O for the output if the raw format
is not the intended one.
Two tests are added to test qemu-img dd.

Currently qemu-img allows an image filename to be passed on the
command line, but unless using the JSON format, it does not have
a way to set any options except the format eg
qemu-img info https://127.0.0.1/images/centos7.iso
This adds a --image-opts arg that indicates that the positional
filename should be interpreted as a full option string, not
just a filename.
qemu-img info --image-opts driver=https,url=https://127.0.0.1/images,sslverify=off
This flag is mutually exclusive with the '-f' / '-F' flags.

qemu-img amend may extensively modify the target image, depending on the
options to be amended (e.g. conversion to qcow2 compat level 0.10 from
1.1 for an image with many unallocated zero clusters). Therefore it

Many qemu-img subcommands only read the source file(s) once. For these
use cases, a full write-back cache is unnecessary and mainly clutters
host cache memory. Though this is generally no concern as cache memory
is freely available and can be scaled by the host OS, it may become a
concern with thin provisioning.
For these cases, it makes sense to allow users to freely specify the
source cache mode (e.g. use no cache at all).
This commit adds a new switch (-T) for the qemu-img subcommands check,
compare, convert and rebase to specify the cache to be used for source
images (the backing file in case of rebase).

This is particularly bad in cluster environments where time-based
