The way that attaching bs->file worked was a bit unusual in that it was
the only child that would be attached to a node which is not opened yet.
Because of this, the block layer couldn't know yet which permissions the
driver would eventually need.
This patch moves the point where bs->file is attached to the beginning
of the individual .bdrv_open() implementations, so drivers already know
what they are going to do with the child. This is also more consistent
with how driver-specific children work.
For a moment, bdrv_open() gets its own BdrvChild to perform image
probing, but instead of directly assigning this BdrvChild to the BDS, it
becomes a temporary one and the node name is passed as an option to the
drivers, so that they can simply use bdrv_open_child() to create another
reference for their own use.
This duplicated child for (the not opened yet) bs is not the final
state, a follow-up patch will change the image probing code to use a
BlockBackend, which is completely independent of bs.

The PC machines (pc-q35-* pc-i440fx-* pc-* isapc xenfv) automatically
create lsi53c895a SCSI HBAs and SCSI devices to honor -drive if=scsi.
For giggles, try -drive if=scsi,bus=25,media=cdrom --- this makes QEMU
create 25 of them.
lsi53c895a is thoroughly obsolete (PCI Ultra2 SCSI, ca. 2000), and
currently has no maintainer in QEMU. megasas is a better choice,
except with old OSes that lack drivers. virtio-scsi is a much better
choice when you have a driver, but only (newish) Linux comes with one
in the box. There is no good default that works for all guests.
Encourage users to pick a non-obsolete SCSI HBA that works for them by
deprecating -drive if=scsi.

Add a new option "server" to the NBD block driver which accepts a
SocketAddress.
"path", "host" and "port" are still supported as legacy options and are
mapped to their corresponding SocketAddress representation.

The previous patches have successively made blk->enable_write_cache the
true source for the information whether a writethrough mode must be
implemented. The corresponding BDRV_O_CACHE_WB is only useless baggage
we're carrying around, so now's the time to remove it.
At the same time, we remove the 'cache.writeback' option parsing on the
BDS level as the only effect was setting the BDRV_O_CACHE_WB flag.
This change requires test cases that explicitly enabled the option to
drop it. Other than that and the change of the error message when
writethrough is enabled on the BDS level (from "Can't set writethrough
mode" to "doesn't support the option"), there should be no change in
behaviour.

The information which BB is concerned does not seem useful enough to
justify its existence in most other place (which may be related to qemu
printing the -drive parameter in question anyway, and for blockdev-add
the attribution is naturally unambiguous). Furthermore, as of a future
patch, bdrv_get_device_name(bs) will always return the empty string
before bdrv_open_inherit() returns.
Therefore, just dropping that information seems to be the best course of
action.

Replace the remaining "-drive file..."
by "-drive file=...,if=none,id=$device_id", then x86 and s390x

"if=ide, if=floppy, if=scsi" are not supported by s390x,
so these test cases are not executed for s390x platform.

The tests for ide device should only be tested for the pc
platform.
Set device_id to "drive0", and replace every "-drive file..."
by "-drive file=...,if=none,id=$device_id", then x86 and s390x
can get the common output in the test of "Snapshot mode".
Warning message expected for s390x when drive without device.
A x86 platform specific output file is also needed.
