The copy-on-read drive must not request the WRITE_UNCHANGED permission
for its child if the node is inactive, otherwise starting a migration
destination with -incoming will fail because the child cannot provide
write access yet:
qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev copy-on-read,file=img,node-name=cor: Block node is read-only
Earlier QEMU versions additionally ran into an abort() on the migration
source side: bdrv_inactivate_recurse() failed to update permissions.
This is silently ignored today because it was only supposed to loosen
restrictions. This is the symptom that was originally reported here:

Filter drivers that support .bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes can safely advertise
BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK because they just forward the request flags to
their child node.

Other I/O functions are already using a BdrvChild pointer in the API, so
make discard do the same. It makes it possible to initiate the same
permission checks before doing I/O, and much easier to share the
helper functions for this, which will be added and used by write,
truncate and copy range paths.

bdrv_truncate() is an operation that can block (even for a quite long
time, depending on the PreallocMode) in I/O paths that shouldn't block.
Convert it to a coroutine_fn so that we have the infrastructure for
drivers to make their .bdrv_co_truncate implementation asynchronous.
This change could potentially introduce new race conditions because
bdrv_truncate() isn't necessarily executed atomically any more. Whether
this is a problem needs to be evaluated for each block driver that
supports truncate:
* file-posix/win32, gluster, iscsi, nfs, rbd, ssh, sheepdog: The
protocol drivers are trivially safe because they don't actually yield
yet, so there is no change in behaviour.
* copy-on-read, crypto, raw-format: Essentially just filter drivers that
pass the request to a child node, no problem.
* qcow2: The implementation modifies metadata, so it needs to hold
s->lock to be safe with concurrent I/O requests. In order to avoid
double locking, this requires pulling the locking out into
preallocate_co() and using qcow2_write_caches() instead of
bdrv_flush().
* qed: Does a single header update, this is fine without locking.

Update the rest of the filter drivers to support
BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED. They already forward write request flags to
their children, so we just have to announce support for it.
This patch does not cover the replication driver because that currently
does not support flags at all, and because it just grabs the WRITE
permission for its children when it can, so we should be fine just
submitting the incoming WRITE_UNCHANGED requests as normal writes.
It also does not cover format drivers for similar reasons. They all use
bdrv_format_default_perms() as their .bdrv_child_perm() implementation
so they just always grab the WRITE permission for their file children
whenever possible. In addition, it often would be difficult to
ascertain whether incoming unchanging writes end up as unchanging writes
in their files. So we just leave them as normal potentially changing
writes.

This adds a simple copy-on-read filter driver. It relies on the already
existing COR functionality in the central block layer code, which may be
moved here once we no longer need it there.
