This changes the x-blockdev-create QMP command so that it doesn't block
the monitor and the main loop any more, but starts a background job that
performs the image creation.
The basic job as implemented here is all that is necessary to make image
creation asynchronous and to provide a QMP interface that can be marked
stable, but it still lacks a few features that jobs usually provide: The
job will ignore pause commands and it doesn't publish more than very
basic progress yet (total-progress is 1 and current-progress advances
from 0 to 1 when the driver callbacks returns). These features can be
added later without breaking compatibility.

This adds a synchronous x-blockdev-create QMP command that can create
qcow2 images on a given node name.
We don't want to block while creating an image, so this is not the final
interface in all aspects, but BlockdevCreateOptionsQcow2 and
.bdrv_co_create() are what they actually might look like in the end. In
any case, this should be good enough to test whether we interpret
BlockdevCreateOptions as we should.
