[pve-devel] [RFC qemu-server v2 19/25] backup: implement backup for external providers

The state of the VM's disk images at the time the backup is started is
preserved via a snapshot-access block node. Old data is moved to the
fleecing image when new guest writes come in. The snapshot-access
block node, as well as the associated bitmap in case of incremental
backup, will be made available to the external provider. They are
exported via NBD and for 'nbd' mechanism, the NBD socket path is
passed to the provider, while for 'block-device' mechanism, the NBD
export is made accessible as a regular block device first and the
bitmap information is made available via a $next_dirty_region->()
function. For 'block-device', the 'nbdinfo' binary is required.

The provider can indicate that it wants to do an incremental backup by
returning the bitmap ID that was used for a previous backup and it
will then be told if the bitmap was newly created (either first backup
or old bitmap was invalid) or if the bitmap can be reused.

The provider then reads the parts of the NBD or block device it needs,
either the full disk for full backup, or the dirty parts according to
the bitmap for incremental backup. The bitmap has to be respected,
reads to other parts of the image will return an error. After backing
up each part of the disk, it should be discarded in the export to
avoid unnecessary space usage in the fleecing image (requires the
storage underlying the fleecing image to support discard too).

Changes in v2:
* Support 'block-device' mechanism, by exposing the NBD export as a
  block device via qemu-nbd.
* Adapt to API changes, i.e. pass all volumes as well as configuration
  files to the provider at once.
