This patch adds a transactional version of the drive-backup QMP command.
It allows atomic snapshots of multiple drives along with automatic
cleanup if there is a failure to start one of the backup jobs.

Note that QMP events are emitted for block job completion/cancellation
and the block job will be listed by query-block-jobs.

@DriveBackup

@device: the name of the device whose writes should be mirrored.

@target: the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it
         is a device, the existing file/device will be used as the new
         destination.  If it does not exist, a new file will be created.

@format: #optional the format of the new destination, default is to
         probe if @mode is 'existing', else the format of the source

@mode: #optional whether and how QEMU should create a new image, default is
       'absolute-paths'.

@speed: #optional the maximum speed, in bytes per second

Hmm, I wonder if we can simplify patch 3/8, by hoisting the DriveBackup
definition into that patch, and writing:

{ 'command': 'drive-backup',
  'data': 'DriveBackup' }

instead of the current open-coding repetition of the arguments for the
standalone command in comparison to the transaction action.  So far, all
uses of { 'command':'str', 'data':{...} } in the qapi-schema.json use a
direct object instead of a named type, but if we could fix the qapi code
generation to honor dictionary types in place of an open-coded type, it
might make our interface file more compact.

Given this implementation, should we modify the extensible transaction
series to allow for a NULL commit callback, and merely insist only that
at least one of commit/abort is non-NULL (rather than the current
insistence that commit is mandatory and abort is optional)?

That would be nice.  The only thing to watch out for is a situation
where the transaction takes additional arguments that the regular
command does not.  But in most cases that would not be necessary.

If I need to respin I'll do that.
