Jeff Cody 13d8cc515d block: add backing-file option to block-stream
On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block job.

For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.

In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.

With this extension to the block-stream api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the active layer as part of the block-stream
operation.

This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the active image metadata fails, then the block-stream
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.

If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

# @block-stream:
#
# Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
#
# The block streaming operation is performed in the background until the entire

# has started. The status of ongoing block streaming operations can be checked
# with query-block-jobs. The operation can be stopped before it has completed
# using the block-job-cancel command.
#
# If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that base file and
# its backing chain. When streaming completes the image file will have the base
# file as its backing file. This can be used to stream a subset of the backing
# file chain instead of flattening the entire image.
#
# On successful completion the image file is updated to drop the backing file
# and the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event is emitted.

# If a pathname string is such that it cannot be

# question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
#
# If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
# the backing file string to use, or error out if there
# is no obvious choice. Care should be taken when
# specifying the string, to specify a valid filename or
