When dumping an object into the log, there are differences between
Python 2 and 3. First, unicode strings are prefixed by 'u' in Python 2
(they are no longer in 3, because unicode strings are the default
there). Second, the order of keys in dicts may differ. Third,
especially long numbers are longs in Python 2 and thus get an 'L'
suffix, which does not happen in Python 3.
We can get around all of these differences by dumping objects (lists and
dicts) in a language-independent format, namely JSON. The JSON
generator even allows emitting dicts with their keys sorted
alphabetically.
This changes the output of all tests that use these logging functions
(dict keys are ordered now, strings in dicts are now enclosed in double
quotes instead of single quotes, the 'L' suffix of large integers is
dropped, and "true" and "false" are now in lower case).
The quote change necessitates a small change to a filter used in test
207.

Since byte strings are no longer the default in Python 3, we have to
explicitly use them where we need to, which is mostly when working with
structures. It also means that we need to open a file in binary mode
when we want to use structures.
On the other hand, we have to accomodate for the fact that some
functions (still) work with byte strings but we want to use unicode
strings (in Python 3 at least, and it does not matter in Python 2).
This includes base64 encoding, but it is most notable when working with
the subprocess module: Either we set universal_newlines to True so that
the default streams are opened in text mode (hence this parameter is
aliased as "text" as of 3.7), or, if that is not possible, we have to
decode the output to a normal string.

We're ready to declare the blockdev-create job stable. This renames the
corresponding QMP command from x-blockdev-create to blockdev-create.

This rewrites the test case 207 to work with the new x-blockdev-create
job rather than the old synchronous version of the command.
Most of the test cases stay the same as before (the exception being some
improved 'size' options that allow distinguishing which command created
the image), but in order to be able to implement proper job handling,
the test case is rewritten in Python.
