This patch series is intended to introduce QEMU Backup tool.
qemu-backup will be a command-line tool for performing full and
incremental disk backups on running VMs. It is intended as a
reference implementation for management stack and backup developers
to see QEMU's backup features in action.
This patch series contains three patches,
               1) QEMU Backup command line tool.
               2) Test for full backup.
               3) Manpage for the tool.
v4:
* Reorganize patch structure.
* Modify commit message for backup tool commit.
* Organize examples by subcommands.
* Add checks for required arguments.
* Adds required arguments group to mandatory arguments.
* Add checks for validating socket path.

Ishani Chugh (3):
