The GDateTime APIs provided by GLib avoid portability pitfalls, such
as some platforms where 'struct timeval.tv_sec' field is still 'long'
instead of 'time_t'. When combined with automatic cleanup, GDateTime
often results in simpler code too.

savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never
been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are
that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics
around choice of disks were ill-defined.
Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt
have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the
"human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly
desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to
all real world usage.
Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new
parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but
it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using
QAPI modelling is highly desirable.
This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to
QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts. The new
commands are given different names, because they will be using the new
QEMU job framework and thus will have diverging behaviour from the HMP
originals. It would thus be misleading to keep the same name.
While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is
still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later.
None the less applications using these new commands should assume that
they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to
indicate completion.
In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the
caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the
snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use.
Note that the existing "query-named-block-nodes" can be used to query
what snapshots currently exist for block nodes.

dgilbert: removed tests for now, the output ordering isn't
deterministic
Make snapshot deletion consistent with the snapshot save
and load commands by using a wrapper around the blockdev
layer. The main difference is that we get upfront validation
of the passed in device list (if any).

The traditional HMP "savevm" command will overwrite an existing snapshot
if it already exists with the requested name. This new flag allows this
to be controlled allowing for safer behaviour with a future QMP command.

Currently bdrv_all_find_snapshot() will return 0 if it finds
a snapshot, -1 if an error occurs, or if it fails to find a
snapshot. New callers to be added want to distinguish between
the error scenario and failing to find a snapshot.
Rename it to bdrv_all_has_snapshot and make it return -1 on
error, 0 if no snapshot is found and 1 if snapshot is found.

Currently the vmstate will be stored in the first block device that
supports snapshots. Historically this would have usually been the
root device, but with UEFI it might be the variable store. There
needs to be a way to override the choice of block device to store
the state in.

When running snapshot operations, there are various rules for which
blockdevs are included/excluded. While this provides reasonable default
behaviour, there are scenarios that are not well handled by the default
logic. Some of the conditions do not have a single correct answer.
Thus there needs to be a way for the mgmt app to provide an explicit
list of blockdevs to perform snapshots across. This can be achieved
by passing a list of node names that should be used.

The bdrv_all_*_snapshot functions return a BlockDriverState pointer
for the invalid backend, which the callers then use to report an
error message. In some cases multiple callers are reporting the
same error message, but with slightly different text. In the future
there will be more error scenarios for some of these methods, which
will benefit from fine grained error message reporting. So it is
helpful to push error reporting down a level.

When VM migrate VMState of configuration, the fields(name and capabilities)
of configuration having a flag of VMS_ALLOC need to allocate memory. If the
src doesn't free memory of capabilities in SaveState after save VMState of
configuration, or the dst doesn't free memory of name and capabilities in post
load of configuration, it may result in memory leak of name and capabilities.
We free memory in configuration_post_save and configuration_post_load func,
which prevents memory leak.

Commit 8118f0950f "migration: Append JSON description of migration
stream" needs a JSON writer. The existing qobject_to_json() wasn't a
good fit, because it requires building a QObject to convert. Instead,
migration got its very own JSON writer, in commit 190c882ce2 "QJSON:
Add JSON writer". It tacitly limits numbers to int64_t, and strings
contents to characters that don't need escaping, unlike
qobject_to_json().
The previous commit factored the JSON writer out of qobject_to_json().
Replace migration's JSON writer by it.

The new migrate_send_rp_req_pages_pending() call should greatly improve
destination responsiveness because it will resync faulted address after
postcopy recovery. However it is also the 1st place to initiate the page
request from the main thread.
One thing is overlooked on that migrate_send_rp_message_req_pages() is not
designed to be thread-safe. So if we wake the fault thread before syncing all
the faulted pages in the main thread, it means they can race.
Postpone the wake up operation after the sync of faulted addresses.

When postcopy recover happens, we need to reset last_rb after each return of
postcopy_pause_fault_thread() because that means we just got the postcopy
migration continued.
Unify this reset to the place right before we want to kick the fault thread
again, when we get the command MIG_CMD_POSTCOPY_RESUME from source.
This is actually more than that - because the main thread on destination will
now be able to call migrate_send_rp_req_pages_pending() too, so the fault
thread is not the only user of last_rb now. Move the reset earlier will allow
the first call to migrate_send_rp_req_pages_pending() to use the reset value
even if called from the main thread.
(NOTE: this is not a real fix to 0c26781c09 mentioned below, however it is just
a mark that when picking up 0c26781c09 we'd better have this one too; the real
fix will come later)
