Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy 1084159b31 qapi: deprecate drive-backup
Modern way is using blockdev-add + blockdev-backup, which provides a
lot more control on how target is opened.

As example of drive-backup problems consider the following:

User of drive-backup expects that target will be opened in the same
cache and aio mode as source. Corresponding logic is in
drive_backup_prepare(), where we take bs->open_flags of source.

It works rather bad if source was added by blockdev-add. Assume source
is qcow2 image. On blockdev-add we should specify aio and cache options
for file child of qcow2 node. What happens next:

drive_backup_prepare() looks at bs->open_flags of qcow2 source node.
But there no BDRV_O_NOCAHE neither BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO: BDRV_O_NOCAHE is
places in bs->file->bs->open_flags, and BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO is nowhere,
as file-posix parse options and simply set s->use_linux_aio.

The documentation is updated in a minimal way, so that drive-backup is
noted only as a deprecated command, and blockdev-backup used in most of
places.

# @transaction:

# Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If any

#
# For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
# the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
# qcow2.
#
# Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
# contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
# an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
# the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
# perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
# current image file as the backing file for the new image.
#
# On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
#
# For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the
# snapshot's name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists,
# the request will be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for
# example, qcow2, and rbd,
#
# On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
# transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
# it later with qemu-img or other command.
#
# @actions: List of @TransactionAction;
# information needed for the respective operations.
#
# @properties: structure of additional options to control the
# execution of the transaction. See @TransactionProperties
# for additional detail.
#
# Returns: nothing on success
#
# Errors depend on the operations of the transaction
#
# Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure. Therefore, there will be
# information on only one failed operation returned in an error condition, and
# subsequent actions will not have been attempted.
