Throttle groups are not necessarily referenced by BDSs alone; a later
patch will essentially allow BBs to reference them, too. Make the
ref/unref functions public so that reference can be properly accounted
for.
Their interface is slightly adjusted in that they return and take a
ThrottleState pointer, respectively, instead of a ThrottleGroup pointer.
Functionally, they are equivalent, but since ThrottleGroup is not meant
to be used outside of block/throttle-groups.c, ThrottleState is easier
to handle.

Calling throttle_group_config() cancels all timers from a particular
BlockDriverState, so any_timer_armed[] should be updated accordingly.
However, with the current code it may happen that a timer is armed in
a different BlockDriverState from the same group, so any_timer_armed[]
would be set to false in a situation where there is still a timer
armed.
The consequence is that we might end up with two timers armed. This
should not have any noticeable impact however, since all accesses to
the ThrottleGroup are protected by a lock, and the situation would
become normal again shortly thereafter as soon as all timers have been
fired.
The correct way to solve this is to check that we're actually
cancelling a timer before updating any_timer_armed[].

bdrv_swap() touches the fields of a BlockDriverState that are
protected by the ThrottleGroup lock. Although those fields end up in
their original place, they are temporarily swapped in the process,
so there's a chance that an operation on a member of the same group
happening on a different thread can try to use them.

The throttle group support use a cooperative round robin scheduling
algorithm.
The principles of the algorithm are simple:
- Each BDS of the group is used as a token in a circular way.
- The active BDS computes if a wait must be done and arms the right
timer.
- If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token
will become the next active BDS.
