Among other changes:
* Added a general list of advice for device authors
* Reordered the section on conditional state (subsections etc)
into the order we prefer.
* Add a note about firmware

It pauses an ongoing migration. Currently it only supports postcopy.
Note that this command will work on either side of the migration.
Basically when we trigger this on one side, it'll interrupt the other
side as well since the other side will get notified on the disconnect
event.
However, it's still possible that the other side is not notified, for
example, when the network is totally broken, or due to some firewall
configuration changes. In that case, we will also need to run the same
command on the other side so both sides will go into the paused state.

Finish the last step to do the final handshake for the recovery.
First source sends one MIG_CMD_RESUME to dst, telling that source is
ready to resume.
Then, dest replies with MIG_RP_MSG_RESUME_ACK to source, telling that
dest is ready to resume (after switch to postcopy-active state).
When source received the RESUME_ACK, it switches its state to
postcopy-active, and finally the recovery is completed.

This patch implements the first part of core RAM resume logic for
postcopy. ram_resume_prepare() is provided for the work.
When the migration is interrupted by network failure, the dirty bitmap
on the source side will be meaningless, because even the dirty bit is
cleared, it is still possible that the sent page was lost along the way
to destination. Here instead of continue the migration with the old
dirty bitmap on source, we ask the destination side to send back its
received bitmap, then invert it to be our initial dirty bitmap.
The source side send thread will issue the MIG_CMD_RECV_BITMAP requests,
once per ramblock, to ask for the received bitmap. On destination side,
MIG_RP_MSG_RECV_BITMAP will be issued, along with the requested bitmap.
Data will be received on the return-path thread of source, and the main
migration thread will be notified when all the ramblock bitmaps are
synchronized.

Introducing new return path message MIG_RP_MSG_RECV_BITMAP to send
received bitmap of ramblock back to source.
This is the reply message of MIG_CMD_RECV_BITMAP, it contains not only
the header (including the ramblock name), and it was appended with the
whole ramblock received bitmap on the destination side.
When the source receives such a reply message (MIG_RP_MSG_RECV_BITMAP),
it parses it, convert it to the dirty bitmap by inverting the bits.
One thing to mention is that, when we send the recv bitmap, we are doing
these things in extra:
- converting the bitmap to little endian, to support when hosts are
using different endianess on src/dst.
- do proper alignment for 8 bytes, to support when hosts are using
different word size (32/64 bits) on src/dst.

The old incoming migration is running in main thread and default
gcontext. With the new qio_channel_add_watch_full() we can now let it
run in the thread's own gcontext (if there is one).
Currently this patch does nothing alone. But when any of the incoming
migration is run in another iothread (e.g., the upcoming migrate-recover
command), this patch will bind the incoming logic to the iothread
instead of the main thread (which may already get page faulted and
hanged).
RDMA is not considered for now since it's not even using the QIO watch
framework at all.

img_open_opts() takes a QemuOpts and converts them to a QDict, so all
values therein are strings. Then it may try to call qdict_get_bool(),
however, which will fail with a segmentation fault every time:
$ ./qemu-img info -U --image-opts \

[1] 27869 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./qemu-img info -U

Fix this by using qdict_get_str() and comparing the value as a string.
Also, when adding a force-share value to the QDict, add it as a string
so it fits the rest of the dict.

Currently, qemu-io only uses string-valued blockdev options (as all are
converted directly from QemuOpts) -- with one exception: -U adds the
force-share option as a boolean. This in itself is already a bit
questionable, but a real issue is that it also assumes the value already
existing in the options QDict would be a boolean, which is wrong.
That has the following effect:
$ ./qemu-io -r -U --image-opts \
driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off
[1] 15200 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./qemu-io -r -U
--image-opts driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off
Since @opts is converted from QemuOpts, the value must be a string, and
we have to compare it as such. Consequently, it makes sense to also set
it as a string instead of a boolean.

Some block drivers (iscsi and file-posix when dealing with device files)
do not actually support truncation, even though they provide a
.bdrv_truncate() method and will happily return success when providing a
new size that does not exceed the current size. This is because these
drivers expect the user to resize the image outside of qemu and then
provide qemu with that information through the block_resize command
(compare cb1b83e740).
Of course, anyone using qemu-img resize will find that behavior useless.
So we should check the actual size of the image after the supposedly
successful truncation took place, emit an error if nothing changed and
emit a warning if the target size was not met.

COR across nodes (that is, you have some filter node between the

work together with the permission system when there is no explicit COR
node that can request the WRITE_UNCHANGED permission for its child.
This is because COR (currently) sneaks its requests by the usual
permission checks, so it can work without a WRITE* permission; but if
there is a filter node in between, that will re-issue the request, which
then passes through the usual check -- and if nobody has requested a
WRITE_UNCHANGED permission, that check will fail.
There is no real direct fix apart from hoping that there is someone who
has requested that permission; in case of just the qemu-io HMP command
(and no guest device), however, that is not the case. The real real fix
is to implement the copy-on-read flag through an implicitly added COR
node. Such a node can request the necessary permissions as shown in
this test.

iotest 197 tests copy-on-read using the (now old) copy-on-read flag.
Copy it to 215 and modify it to use the COR filter driver instead.

Update the rest of the filter drivers to support
BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED. They already forward write request flags to
their children, so we just have to announce support for it.
This patch does not cover the replication driver because that currently
does not support flags at all, and because it just grabs the WRITE
permission for its children when it can, so we should be fine just
submitting the incoming WRITE_UNCHANGED requests as normal writes.
It also does not cover format drivers for similar reasons. They all use
bdrv_format_default_perms() as their .bdrv_child_perm() implementation
so they just always grab the WRITE permission for their file children
whenever possible. In addition, it often would be difficult to
ascertain whether incoming unchanging writes end up as unchanging writes
in their files. So we just leave them as normal potentially changing
writes.

We just need to forward it to quorum's children (except in case of a
rewrite because of corruption), but for that we first have to support
flags in child requests at all.
