The cow block driver does not keep internal state for cluster lookups.
This means it is safe to perform cluster lookups in coroutine context
without risk of race conditions that corrupt internal state.

There are two different types of flush that you can do: Flushing one level up
to the OS (i.e. writing data to the host page cache) or flushing it all the way
down to the disk. The existing functions flush to the disk, reflect this in the
function name.

Since coroutine operation is now mandatory, convert all bdrv_flush
implementations to coroutines. For qcow2, this means taking the lock.
Other implementations are simpler and just forward bdrv_flush to the
underlying protocol, so they can avoid the lock.
The bdrv_flush callback is then unused and can be eliminated.

This does the first part of the conversion to coroutines, by
wrapping bdrv_write implementations to take the mutex.
Drivers that implement bdrv_write rather than bdrv_co_writev can
then benefit from asynchronous operation (at least if the underlying
protocol supports it, which is not the case for raw-win32), even
though they still operate with a bounce buffer.

The big conversion of bdrv_read/write to coroutines caused the two
homonymous callbacks in BlockDriver to become reentrant. It goes
like this:
1) bdrv_read is now called in a coroutine, and calls bdrv_read or
bdrv_pread.
2) the nested bdrv_read goes through the fast path in bdrv_rw_co_entry;
3) in the common case when the protocol is file, bdrv_co_do_readv calls
bdrv_co_readv_em (and from here goes to bdrv_co_io_em), which yields
until the AIO operation is complete;
4) if bdrv_read had been called from a bottom half, the main loop
is free to iterate again: a device model or another bottom half
can then come and call bdrv_read again.
This applies to all four of read/write/flush/discard. It would also
apply to is_allocated, but it is not used from within coroutines:
besides qemu-img.c and qemu-io.c, which operate synchronously, the
only user is the monitor. Copy-on-read will introduce a use in the
block layer, and will require converting it.
The solution is "simply" to convert all drivers to coroutines! We
just need to add a CoMutex that is taken around affected operations.

We don't have an equivalent to mmap in the qemu block API, so read and
write the bitmap directly. At least in the dumb implementation added
in this patch this is a lot less efficient, but it means cow can also
work on windows, and over nbd or curl. And it fixes qemu-iotests testcase
012 which did not work properly due to issues with read-only mmap access.
In addition we can also get rid of the now unused get_mmap_addr function.

Format drivers shouldn't need to bother with things like file names, but rather
just get an open BlockDriverState for the underlying protocol. This patch
introduces this behaviour for bdrv_open implementation. For protocols which
need to access the filename to open their file/device/connection/... a new
callback bdrv_file_open is introduced which doesn't get an underlying file
opened.
For now, also some of the more obscure formats use bdrv_file_open because they
open() the file themselves instead of using the block.c functions. They need to
be fixed in later patches.

If we are flushing the caches for our image files we only care about the
data (including the metadata required for accessing it) but not things
like timestamp updates. So try to use fdatasync instead of fsync to
implement the flush operations.
Unfortunately many operating systems still do not support fdatasync,
so we add a qemu_fdatasync wrapper that uses fdatasync if available
as per the _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO feature macro or fsync otherwise.

Now we can make use of the newly introduced option structures. Instead of
having bdrv_create carry more and more parameters (which are format specific in
most cases), just pass a option structure as defined by the driver itself.
bdrv_create2() contains an emulation of the old interface to simplify the
transition.
