Many stable fixes came in since the last bump, a few of which were
actually already present. Notable ones not yet present include a few
guest-triggerable assert fixes, some AHCI/IDE fixes (including the fix
for bug #2784), TGC fixes for i386 and ARM, VirtIO fixes, fix to avoid
VNC clipboard denial-of-service.
The reentrancy patches that landed upstream/stable were a newer
version than the ones backported initially here, so it was necessary
to explicitly drop them before rebase (which then picked up the
upstream version).
There were no other conflicts.

Notable changes:
* The only big change is the switch to using a custom QIOChannel for
savevm-async, because the previously used QEMUFileOps was dropped.
Changes to the current implementation:
* Switch to vector based methods as required for an IO channel. For
short reads the passed-in IO vector is stuffed with zeroes at the
end, just to be sure.
* For reading: The documentation in include/io/channel.h states that
at least one byte should be read, so also error out when whe are
at the very end instead of returning 0.
* For reading: Fix off-by-one error when request goes beyond end.
The wrong code piece was:
if ((pos + size) > maxlen) {
size = maxlen - pos - 1;
}
Previously, the last byte would not be read. It's actually
possible to get a snapshot .raw file that has content all the way
up the final 512 byte (= BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE) boundary without any
trailing zero bytes (I wrote a script to do it).
Luckily, it didn't cause a real issue, because qemu_loadvm_state()
is not interested in the final (i.e. QEMU_VM_VMDESCRIPTION)
section. The buffer for reading it is simply freed up afterwards
and the function will assume that it read the whole section, even
if that's not the case.
* For writing: Make use of the generated blk_pwritev() wrapper
instead of manually wrapping the coroutine to simplify and save a
few lines.
* Adapt to changed interfaces for blk_{pread,pwrite}:
* a9262f551e ("block: Change blk_{pread,pwrite}() param order")
* 3b35d4542c ("block: Add a 'flags' param to blk_pread()")
* bf5b16fa40 ("block: Make blk_{pread,pwrite}() return 0 on success")
Those changes especially affected the qemu-img dd patches, because
the context also changed, but also some of our block drivers used
the functions.
* Drop qemu-common.h include: it got renamed after essentially
everything was moved to other headers. The only remaining user I
could find for things dropped from the header between 7.0 and 7.1
was qemu_get_vm_name() in the iscsi-initiatorname patch, but it
already includes the header to which the function was moved.

This drops debian/patches/pve/0005-PVE-Config-smm_available-false.patch
(and renumbers the remaining patches)
From what I could gather, this patch was originally added
due to issues with old kernels. Now we have users which
seem to run into issues *with* the patch.
All this does is toggle an option, and it's available via a
qemu CLI option anyway, so if dropping this patch causes
issues for some people we can just add an option to
qemu-server & UI control smm explicitly.

Mostly minor changes, bigger ones summarized:
* QEMU's internal backup code now uses a new async system, which allows
parallel requests - the default max_workers settings is 64, I chose
less, since 64 put enough stress on QEMU that the guest became
practically unusable during the backup, and 16 still shows quite a
nice measureable performance improvement. Little code changes for us
though.
* 'malformed' QAPI parameters/functions are now a build error (i.e.
using '_' vs '-'), I chose to just whitelist our calls in the name of
backwards compatibility.
* monitor OOB race fix now uses the upstream variant, cherry-picked from
origin/master since it's not in 6.0 by default
* last patch fixes a bug with snapshot rollback related to the new yank
system

Lots of patches touched and some slight changes to the build process
since QEMU switched to meson as their build system. Functionality-wise
very little rebasing required.
New patches introduced:
* pve/0058: to fix VMA backups and clean up some code in general with
new 5.2 features now available to us (namely coroutine-enabled QMP).
* extra/0002: don't build man pages for guest agent when disabled
* extra/0003: fix live-migration with hugepages
* 0017 and 0018 are adjusted to fix snapshot abort and improve
snap performance a bit

No major semantic changes, mostly just deprecations and changed function
signatures. Drop the extra/ patches, as they have been applied upstream.
The added extra/ patch was accepted upstream[0] but has not been picked
up for 5.1. It is required for non-4M aligned backups to work with PBS.
