streamOptimized does not support writes that do not span exactly one
cluster. Furthermore, it cannot rewrite already allocated clusters.
As such, many iotests do not work with it. Disable them.

A lot of tests run fine on FreeBSD and macOS, too - the limitation
to Linux here was likely just copied-and-pasted from other tests.
Thus remove the "_supported_os Linux" line from tests that run
successful in our CI pipelines on FreeBSD and macOS.

Bash is not always installed as /bin/bash. In particular on OpenBSD,
the package installs it in /usr/local/bin.
Use the 'env' shebang to search bash in the $PATH.
Patch created mechanically by running:
$ git grep -lE '#! ?/bin/bash' -- tests/qemu-iotests \
| while read f; do \
sed -i 's|^#!.\?/bin/bash$|#!/usr/bin/env bash|' $f; \
done

Running
git grep '\$here' tests/qemu-iotests
has 0 hits, which means we are setting a variable that has
no use. It appears that commit e8f8624d removed the last
use. So execute the following cmd to remove all of
the 'here=...' lines as dead code.
sed -i '/^here=/d' $(git grep -l '^here=' tests/qemu-iotests)

The previous commit removed the last usage of ${tmp} inside the tests
themselves; the only remaining users are sourced by check. So we can now
drop this variable from the tests.

This patch removes support for the cow file format.
Normally we do not break backwards compatibility but in this case there
is no impact and it is the most logical option. Extraordinary claims
require extraordinary evidence so I will show why removing the cow block
driver is the right thing to do.
The cow file format is the disk image format for Usermode Linux, a way
of running a Linux system in userspace. The performance of UML was
never great and it was hacky, but it enjoyed some popularity before
hardware virtualization support became mainstream.
QEMU's block/cow.c is supposed to read this image file format.
Unfortunately the file format was underspecified:
1. Earlier Linux versions used the MAXPATHLEN constant for the backing
filename field. The value of MAXPATHLEN can change, so Linux
switched to a 4096 literal but QEMU has a 1024 literal.
2. Padding was not used on the header struct (both in the Linux kernel
and in QEMU) so the struct layout varied across architectures. In
particular, i386 and x86_64 were different due to int64_t alignment
differences. Linux now uses __attribute__((packed)), QEMU does not.
Therefore:
1. QEMU cow images do not conform to the Linux cow image file format.
2. cow images cannot be shared between different host architectures.
This means QEMU cow images are useless and QEMU has not had bug reports
from users actually hitting these issues.
Let's get rid of this thing, it serves no purpose and no one will be
affected.

all these tests do anything of the following and thus fail with any
protocol other than file:
- the tests use rm, cp or mv shell commands which only work on file
- the tests use qcow2.py
- the images construct new filenames (e.g. backing file names) and
the logic is broken for anything else than file
