[libvirt] [PATCH 03/13] blockjob: add new API flags

This patch introduces a new block job, useful for live storage
migration using pre-copy streaming. If a live VM is using the
following backing chain:
base <- snap1 <- snap2
then virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY)
will create /path/to/copy with no backing file, and
virDomainBlockRebase(dom, disk, "/path/to/copy", 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY|VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW)
will create /path/to/copy with snap1 as a backing file. An event
will be issued when the copy is finally in sync with ths source,
at which point the job remains alive until the user is ready to
break the mirroring and either abort to the source or pivot to
the destination with the new:
virDomainBlockJobAbort(dom, disk, VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_PIVOT)
Normally, a shallow copy is created with a backing file being the
absolute path matching the backing file of the source, but a
management application can pre-create the copy with a relative
backing file name, and use the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT
flag to have qemu reuse the metadata; if the management application
also copies the backing files to a new location, this can be used
to perform live storage migration of an entire backing chain.
