Use the external qemu-timer API instead.
No one else should be calling cpu_get_clock(), get_clock() and
get_clock_realtime() directly; they are internal functions and they
should be confined to qemu-timer.c and cpus.c (where the icount
implementation resides). All accesses should go through
qemu_clock_get_ns.

On systems where SEEK_HOLE in a trailing hole seeks to EOF (Solaris,
but not Linux), try_seek_hole() reports trailing data instead.
Additionally, unlikely lseek() failures are treated badly:
* When SEEK_HOLE fails, try_seek_hole() reports trailing data. For
-ENXIO, there's in fact a trailing hole. Can happen only when
something truncated the file since we opened it.
* When SEEK_HOLE succeeds, SEEK_DATA fails, and SEEK_END succeeds,
then try_seek_hole() reports a trailing hole. This is okay only
when SEEK_DATA failed with -ENXIO (which means the non-trailing hole
found by SEEK_HOLE has since become trailing somehow). For other
failures (unlikely), it's wrong.
* When SEEK_HOLE succeeds, SEEK_DATA fails, SEEK_END fails (unlikely),
then try_seek_hole() reports bogus data [-1,start), which its caller
raw_co_get_block_status() turns into zero sectors of data. Could
theoretically lead to infinite loops in code that attempts to scan
data vs. hole forward.
Rewrite from scratch, with very careful comments.

Commit 5500316 (May 2012) implemented raw_co_is_allocated() as
follows:
1. If defined(CONFIG_FIEMAP), use the FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl
2. Else if defined(SEEK_HOLE) && defined(SEEK_DATA), use lseek()
3. Else pretend there are no holes
Later on, raw_co_is_allocated() was generalized to
raw_co_get_block_status().
Commit 4f11aa8 (May 2014) changed it to try the three methods in order
until success, because "there may be implementations which support
[SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA] but not [FIEMAP] (e.g., NFSv4.2) as well as vice
versa."
Unfortunately, we used FIEMAP incorrectly: we lacked FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC.
Commit 38c4d0a (Sep 2014) added it. Because that's a significant
speed hit, the next commit 7c159037 put SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA first.
As you see, the obvious use of FIEMAP is wrong, and the correct use is
slow. I guess this puts it somewhere between -7 "The obvious use is
wrong" and -10 "It's impossible to get right" on Rusty Russel's Hard
to Misuse scale[*].
"Fortunately", the FIEMAP code is used only when
* SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA aren't defined, but CONFIG_FIEMAP is
Uncommon. SEEK_HOLE had no XFS implementation between 2011 (when it
was introduced for ext4 and btrfs) and 2012.
* SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA and CONFIG_FIEMAP are defined, but lseek() fails
Unlikely.
Thus, the FIEMAP code executes rarely. Makes it a nice hidey-hole for
bugs. Worse, bugs hiding there can theoretically bite even on a host
that has SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA.
I don't want to worry about this crap, not even theoretically. Get
rid of it.

As its comment states, raw_co_get_block_status() should unconditionally
return 0 and set *pnum to 0 for after EOF.
An assertion after lseek(..., SEEK_HOLE) tried to catch this case by
asserting that errno != -ENXIO (which would indicate a position after
the EOF); but it should be errno != ENXIO instead. Regardless of that,
there should be no such assertion at all. If bdrv_getlength() returned
an outdated value and the image has been resized outside of qemu,
lseek() will return with errno == ENXIO. Just return that value as an
error then.
Setting *pnum to 0 and returning 0 should not be done here, as in that
case we should update the device length as well. So, from qemu's
perspective, the file has not been resized; it's just that there was an
error querying sectors beyond a certain point (the actual file size).
Additionally, nb_sectors should be clamped against the image end. This
was probably not an issue if FIEMAP or SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA worked, but
the fallback did not take this case into account.

Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to
newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance.
Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad
performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are
two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then
all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.
This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW
per file.
For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we
can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only.
But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are
creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting
NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.
