There are many existing qcow2 images that specify a backing file but
no format. This has been the source of CVEs in the past, but has
become more prominent of a problem now that libvirt has switched to
-blockdev. With older -drive, at least the probing was always done by
qemu (so the only risk of a changed format between successive boots of
a guest was if qemu was upgraded and probed differently). But with
newer -blockdev, libvirt must specify a format; if libvirt guesses raw
where the image was formatted, this results in data corruption visible
to the guest; conversely, if libvirt guesses qcow2 where qemu was
using raw, this can result in potential security holes, so modern
libvirt instead refuses to use images without explicit backing format.
The change in libvirt to reject images without explicit backing format
has pointed out that a number of tools have been far too reliant on
probing in the past. It's time to set a better example in our own
iotests of properly setting this parameter.
iotest calls to create, rebase, and convert are all impacted to some
degree. It's a bit annoying that we are inconsistent on command line
- while all of those accept -o backing_file=...,backing_fmt=..., the
shortcuts are different: create and rebase have -b and -F, while
convert has -B but no -F. (amend has no shortcuts, but the previous
patch just deprecated the use of amend to change backing chains).

Like script_main, but doesn't require a single point of entry.
Replace all existing initialization sections with this drop-in replacement.
This brings debug support to all existing script-style iotests.

As a showcase of how you can use qemu-io's exit code to determine
success or failure (same for qemu-img), this test is changed to use
qemu_io_silent() instead of qemu_io(), and to assert the exit code
instead of logging the filtered result.
One real advantage of this is that in case of an error, you get a
backtrace that helps you locate the issue in the test file quickly.

COR across nodes (that is, you have some filter node between the
actually COR target and the node that performs the COR) cannot reliably
work together with the permission system when there is no explicit COR
node that can request the WRITE_UNCHANGED permission for its child.
This is because COR (currently) sneaks its requests by the usual
permission checks, so it can work without a WRITE* permission; but if
there is a filter node in between, that will re-issue the request, which
then passes through the usual check -- and if nobody has requested a
WRITE_UNCHANGED permission, that check will fail.
There is no real direct fix apart from hoping that there is someone who
has requested that permission; in case of just the qemu-io HMP command
(and no guest device), however, that is not the case. The real real fix
is to implement the copy-on-read flag through an implicitly added COR
node. Such a node can request the necessary permissions as shown in
this test.
