We have too much comments for this feature. It seems better just don't
do it. Most of real users (tests don't count) have to create additional
reference.
Drop also comment in external_snapshot_prepare:
- bdrv_append doesn't "remove" old bs in common sense, it sounds
strange
- the fact that bdrv_append can fail is obvious from the context
- the fact that we must rollback all changes in transaction abort is
known (it's the direct role of abort)

Command block_passwd always fails since
Commit c01c214b69 "block: remove all encryption handling APIs"
(v2.10.0) turned block_passwd into a stub that always fails, and
hardcoded encryption_key_missing to false in query-named-block-nodes
and query-block.
Commit ad1324e044 "block: remove 'encryption_key_missing' flag from
QAPI" just landed. Complete the cleanup job: remove block_passwd.

Further commit will add a benchmark
(scripts/simplebench/bench-backup.py), which will show that backup
works better with async parallel requests (previous commit) and
disabled copy_range. So, let's disable copy_range by default.
Note: the option was added several commits ago with default to true,
to follow old behavior (the feature was enabled unconditionally), and
only now we are going to change the default behavior.

Add new parameters to configure future backup features. The patch
doesn't introduce aio backup requests (so we actually have only one
worker) neither requests larger than one cluster. Still, formally we
satisfy these maximums anyway, so add the parameters now, to facilitate
further patch which will really change backup job behavior.

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.

The code already don't freeze base node and we try to make it prepared
for the situation when base node is changed during the operation. In
other words, block-stream doesn't own base node.
Let's introduce a new interface which should replace the current one,
which will in better relations with the code. Specifying bottom node
instead of base, and requiring it to be non-filter gives us the
following benefits:
- drop difference between above_base and base_overlay, which will be
renamed to just bottom, when old interface dropped
- clean way to work with parallel streams/commits on the same backing
chain, which otherwise become a problem when we introduce a filter
for stream job
- cleaner interface. Nobody will surprised the fact that base node may
disappear during block-stream, when there is no word about "base" in
the interface.

Stream in stream_prepare calls bdrv_change_backing_file() to change
backing-file in the metadata of bs.
It may use either backing-file parameter given by user or just take
filename of base on job start.
Backing file format is determined by base on job finish.
There are some problems with this design, we solve only two by this
patch:
1. Consider scenario with backing-file unset. Current concept of stream
supports changing of the base during the job (we don't freeze link to
the base). So, we should not save base filename at job start,
- let's determine name of the base on job finish.
2. Using direct base to determine filename and format is not very good:
base node may be a filter, so its filename may be JSON, and format_name
is not good for storing into qcow2 metadata as backing file format.
- let's use unfiltered_base

block-commit defaults @base-node to the deepest backing image. When
there is none, it fails with "Base 'NULL' not found". Improve to
"There is no backing image".
block-commit and block-stream reject a @base argument that doesn't
resolve with "Base 'BASE' not found". Commit 6b33f3ae8b "qemu-img:
Improve commit invalid base message" improved this message in
qemu-img. Improve it here, too: "Can't find '%s' in the backing
chain".
QERR_BASE_NOT_FOUND is now unused. Drop.

block_resize performs some I/O that could potentially take quite some
time, so use it as an example for the new 'coroutine': true annotation
in the QAPI schema.
bdrv_truncate() requires that we're already in the right AioContext for
the BlockDriverState if called in coroutine context. So instead of just
taking the AioContext lock, move the QMP handler coroutine to the
context.
Call blk_unref() only after switching back because blk_unref() may only
be called in the main thread.

Saving icount as a parameters of the snapshot allows navigation between
them in the execution replay scenario.
This information can be used for finding a specific snapshot for proceeding
the recorded execution to the specific moment of the time.
E.g., 'reverse step' action (introduced in one of the following patches)
needs to load the nearest snapshot which is prior to the current moment
of time.
This patch also updates snapshot test which verifies qemu monitor output.
