qemu-img should use QMP commands whenever possible in order to ensure
feature completeness of both online and offline image operations. For
the "commit" command, this is relatively easy, so implement it first
(in the hope that indeed others will follow).

As qemu-img does not have access to QMP (due to QMP being intertwined
with basically everything in qemu), we cannot directly use QMP, but at
least use the functions the corresponding QMP commands are using (which
would be "block-commit", in this case).


As of this version, this series depends on my series
'[PATCH v3 00/10] qcow2: Fix image repairing' (or on any later version).


Patches without a Reviewed-by: 3 and 14

Ping. I kind of want to make Kevin responsible for the state in which patch 3 is now, so I'm hoping he'll review it despite of the now official reviewer policy. ;-)

Although everyone is welcome; patch 3 is now much more simple than in previous versions, so don't be afraid.

v12:
- Rewrote patch 3 according to Kevin's proposal (in reply to v8):
   Instead of keeping the image constantly clean and recreating a new
   refcount structure in unallocated clusters, just mark the image dirty,
   overwrite the beginning of the image with zeroes, place the reftable
   and the L1 table there and go from there.
   This is much easier than the previous version but was not possible
   like this before, because qcow2's repair function could not repair
   images with completely lost refcount information. This is now
   possible which makes this variant feasible.
- Pulled patch 14 before patch 6; therefore, patch 14 is now patch 6 and
   patches 6 to 13 are now patches 7 to 14, respectively. I did this
   because patches 7 and 8 break several tests which are fixed by patch
   14, so it makes sense to apply the fix before breaking the tests.
- Adjusted patch 14 (previously 13) according to the changes to patch 3.
   In particular, images do not leak clusters when the emptying process
   fails, but are dirty (their refcount structure is broken) and need to
   be repaired (which is done automatically when they are opened).
