Add John's rev-by in 3/4.
v5: Address Max's and Markus' comments:
Split patch 1. (Markus)
Fix typos and pastos. (Markus, Max)
Actually acquire aio context. (Max)
Drop unnecessary initialization of fields in blockdev_backup_prepare. (Max)
Add "sync" in the document example.
Add Max's rev-by in patch 4.
The existing drive-backup command accepts a target file path, but that
interface provides little flexibility on the properties of target block device,
compared to what is possible with "blockdev-add", "drive_add" or "-drive".
This is also a building block to allow image fleecing (creating a point in time
snapshot and export with nbd-server-add).
(For symmetry, blockdev-mirror will be added in a separate series.)
