v3: Rebase on master, small qapi docs improvements suggested by Markus There several improvements to fleecing scheme:
1. support bitmap in copy-before-write filter 2. introduce fleecing block driver, which opens the door for a lot of image fleecing improvements. See "block: introduce fleecing block driver" commit message for details. 3. support "push backup with fleecing" scheme, when backup job is a client of common fleecing scheme. That helps when writes to final backup target are slow and we don't want guest writes hang waiting for copy-before-write operations to final target.
