[Qemu-block] [v2 0/5] Allow blockdev-add for SSH

[Ashijeet Acharya]

Previously posted series patches:
v1: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-10/msg02137.html

This series adds blockdev-add support for SSH block driver.

This patch series has an additional patch 'Patch 3'.

Patch 1 prepares the code for the addition of a new option prefix,
which is "server.". This is accomplished by adding a
ssh_has_filename_options_conflict() function which helps to iterate
over the various options and check for conflict.

Patch 2 first adds InetSocketAddress compatibility to SSH block driver
and then makes it accept a InetSocketAddress under the "server" option.
The old options "host" and "port" are supported as legacy options and
then translated to the respective InetSocketAddress representation.

Patch 3 makes use of inet_connect_saddr() instead of inet_connect()
to establish socket connection.

Patch 4 drops the usage of "host" and "port" outside of
ssh_has_filename_options_conflict() and
ssh_process_legacy_socket_options() functions in order to make them
legacy options completely.

Patch 5 helps to allow blockdev-add support for the SSH block driver
by making the SSH option available.


*** This series depends on the following patch: ***
"qdict: implement a qdict_crumple method for un-flattening a dict"
from Daniel's "QAPI/QOM work for non-scalar object properties"
series.

Changes in v2:
- Use strstart() instead of strcmp() (Kevin)
- Use qobject_input_visitor_new_autocast() instead of
  qmp_input_visitor_new() and change header files accordingly (Kevin)
- Use inet_connect_saddr() instead of inet_connect() (Kevin)
- Drop the contruction of <host>:<port> string (Kevin)
- Fix the bug in ssh_process_legacy_socket_options()
