Benoît Canet 27cec15e4e quorum: Create quorum.c, add QuorumChildRequest and QuorumAIOCB.
Quorum is a block filter mirroring writes to num_children children.
For reads quorum reads each children and does a vote.
If more than vote_threshold versions are identical the quorum is reached and
this winning version is returned to the guest. So quorum prevents bit corruption.
For high availability purpose minority errors are reported via QMP but the guest
does not see them.

This patch creates the driver C source file and introduces the structures that
will be used in asynchronous reads and writes.
