This is particularly useful when we abort in error_propagate(),
because there the stack backtrace doesn't lead to where the error was
created. Looks like this:
Unexpected error in parse_block_error_action() at .../qemu/blockdev.c:322:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=none,werror=foo: 'foo' invalid write error action
Aborted (core dumped)
Note: to get this example output, I monkey-patched drive_new() to pass
&error_abort to blockdev_init().
To keep the error handling boiler plate from growing even more, all
error_setFOO() become macros expanding into error_setFOO_internal()
with additional __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ arguments. Not exactly
pretty, but it works.
The macro trickery breaks down when you take the address of an
error_setFOO(). Fortunately, we do that in just one place: qemu-ga's
Windows VSS provider and requester DLL wants to call
error_setg_win32() through a function pointer "to avoid linking glib
to the DLL". Use error_setg_win32_internal() there. The use of the
function pointer is already wrapped in a macro, so the churn isn't
bad.
Code size increases by some 35KiB for me (0.7%). Tolerable. Could be
less if we passed relative rather than absolute source file names to
the compiler, or forwent reporting __func__.

requester.cpp uses this pattern to receive an error and pass it on to
the caller (err_is_set() macro peeled off for clarity):
... code that may set errset->errp ...
if (errset->errp && *errset->errp) {
... handle error ...
}
This breaks when errset->errp is null. As far as I can tell, it
currently isn't, so this is merely fragile, not actually broken.
The robust way to do this is to receive the error in a local variable,
then propagate it up, like this:
Error *err = NULL;
... code that may set err ...
if (err)
... handle error ...
error_propagate(errset->errp, err);
}

qga_vss_fsfreeze() casts error_set_win32() from
void (*)(Error **, int, ErrorClass, const char *, ...)
to
void (*)(void **, int, int, const char *, ...)
The result is later called. Since the two types are not compatible,
the call is undefined behavior. It works in practice anyway.
However, there's no real need for trickery here. Clean it up as
follows:
* Declare struct Error, and fix the first parameter.
* Switch to error_setg_win32(). This gets rid of the troublesome
ErrorClass parameter. Requires converting error_setg_win32() from
macro to function, but that's trivially easy, because this is the
only user of error_set_win32().

When a VSS requester such as vshadow.exe or diskshadow.exe requests to
create disk snapshots, Windows may choose qemu-ga VSS provider if it is
only provider registered on the system. However, because it provides only a
function to freeze the filesystem, the snapshotting fails.
This patch adds a check into CQGAVssProvider::IsVolumeSupported() to reject
the request from other VSS requesters, so that the other provider is chosen.
The check of requester is done by confirming event channels between
qemu-ga's requester and provider established. To ensure that the events are
initialized when CQGAVssProvider::IsVolumeSupported() is called, it moves
the initialization earlier.

OpenEvent and CreateEvent WinAPI return NULL when failed to open/create
events handles, instead of INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE (although their return
types are HANDLE).
This replaces INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE related to event handles with NULL.

Adds VSS provider and requester as a qga-vss.dll, which is loaded by
Windows VSS service as well as by qemu-ga.
"provider.cpp" implements a basic stub of a software VSS provider.
Currently, this module only relays a frozen event from VSS service to the
agent, and thaw event from the agent to VSS service, to block VSS process
to keep the system frozen while snapshots are taken at the host.
To register the provider to the guest system as COM+ application, the type
library (.tlb) for qga-vss.dll is required. To build it from COM IDL (.idl),
VisualC++, MIDL and stdole2.tlb in Windows SDK are required. This patch also
adds pre-compiled .tlb file in the repository in order to enable
cross-compile qemu-ga.exe for Windows with VSS support.
"requester.cpp" provides the VSS requester to kick the VSS snapshot process.
Qemu-ga.exe works without the DLL, although fsfreeze features are disabled.
These functions are only supported in Windows 2003 or later. In older
systems, fsfreeze features are disabled.
In several versions of Windows which don't support attribute
VSS_VOLSNAP_ATTR_NO_AUTORECOVERY, DoSnapshotSet fails with error
VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND. In this patch, we just ignore this error.
To solve this fundamentally, we need a framework to handle mount writable
snapshot on guests, which is required by VSS auto-recovery feature
(cleanup phase after a snapshot is taken).
