The throttle block filter can be reopened, and with this it is
possible to change the throttle group that the filter belongs to.
The way the code does that is the following:
- On throttle_reopen_prepare(): create a new ThrottleGroupMember
and attach it to the new throttle group.
- On throttle_reopen_commit(): detach the old ThrottleGroupMember,
delete it and replace it with the new one.
The problem with this is that by replacing the ThrottleGroupMember the
previous value of io_limits_disabled is lost, causing an assertion
failure in throttle_co_drain_end().
This problem can be reproduced by reopening a throttle node:
$QEMU -monitor stdio
-object throttle-group,id=tg0,x-iops-total=1000 \
-blockdev node-name=hd0,driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=hd.qcow2 \
-blockdev node-name=root,driver=throttle,throttle-group=tg0,file=hd0,read-only=on
(qemu) block_stream root
block/throttle.c:214: throttle_co_drain_end: Assertion `tgm->io_limits_disabled' failed.
Since we only want to change the throttle group on reopen there's no
need to create a ThrottleGroupMember and discard the old one. It's
easier if we simply detach it from its current group and attach it to
the new one.

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.

The throttle driver is not a protocol so it should implement bdrv_open
instead of bdrv_file_open and not provide a protocol_name.
Attempts to invoke this driver using protocol syntax
(i.e. throttle:<filename:options:...>) will now fail gracefully:
$ qemu-img info throttle:foo
qemu-img: Could not open 'throttle:foo': Unknown protocol 'throttle'

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Update the generic helpers, and all passthrough clients
(blkdebug, commit, mirror, throttle) accordingly.

qemu-common.h includes qemu/option.h, but most places that include the
former don't actually need the latter. Drop the include, and add it
to the places that actually need it.
While there, drop superfluous includes of both headers, and
separate #include from file comment with a blank line.
This cleanup makes the number of objects depending on qemu/option.h
drop from 4545 (out of 4743) to 284 in my "build everything" tree.

[Semantic conflict with commit bdd6a90a9e in block/nvme.c resolved]
block/throttle.c uses existing I/O throttle infrastructure inside a
block filter driver. I/O operations are intercepted in the filter's
read/write coroutines, and referred to block/throttle-groups.c
The driver can be used with the syntax
-drive driver=throttle,file.filename=foo.qcow2,throttle-group=bar
which registers the throttle filter node with the ThrottleGroup 'bar'. The
given group must be created beforehand with object-add or -object.
