[pve-devel] [RFC qemu 09/23] PVE backup: implement bitmap support for external backup access

There can be one dirty bitmap for each backup target ID (which are
tracked in the backup_access_bitmaps hash table). The QMP user can
specify the ID of the bitmap it likes to use. This ID is then compared
to the current one for the given target. If they match, the bitmap is
re-used (should it still exist on the drive, otherwise re-created). If
there is a mismatch, the old bitmap is removed and a new one is
created.

The return value of the QMP command includes information about what
bitmap action was taken. Similar to what the query-backup QMP command
returns for regular backup. It also includes the bitmap name and
associated block node, so the management layer can then set up an NBD
export with the bitmap.

While the backup access is active, a background bitmap is also
required. This is necessary to implement bitmap handling according to
the original reference [0]. In particular:

- in the error case, new writes since the backup access was set up are
  in the background bitmap. Because of failure, the previously tracked
  writes from the backup access bitmap are still required too. Thus,
  the bitmap is merged with the background bitmap to get all new
  writes since the last backup.

- in the success case, continue tracking for the next incremental
  backup in the backup access bitmap. New writes since the backup
  access was set up are in the background bitmap. Because the backup
  was successfully, clear the backup access bitmap and merge back the
  background bitmap to get only the new writes.

Since QEMU cannot know if the backup was successful or not (except if
failure already happens during the setup QMP command), the management
layer needs to tell it via the teardown QMP command.

The bitmap action is also recorded in the device info now.
