RFCv2:
 * Publishing RFC again to discuss the new user-visible interfaces.  Code has
   changed quite a bit, I have not kept any Reviewed-by tags.
 * Rename qemu-img sub-command "measure" and API bdrv_measure() [Nir]
 * Report both "required bytes" and "fully allocated bytes" to handle the empty
   image file and prealloc use cases [Nir and Dan]
 * Use bdrv_getlength() instead of bdrv_nb_sectors() [Berto]
 * Rename "err" label "out" in qemu-img-cmds.c [Nir]
 * Add basic qcow2 support, doesn't support qemu-img convert from existing files yet

RFCv1:
 * Publishing patch series with just raw support, no qcow2 yet.  Please review
   the command-line interface and let me know if you are happy with this
   approach.

Users and management tools sometimes need to know the size required for a new
disk image so that an LVM volume, SAN LUN, etc can be allocated ahead of time.
Image formats like qcow2 have non-trivial metadata that makes it hard to
estimate the exact size without knowledge of file format internals.

This patch series introduces a new qemu-img sub-command that calculates the
required size for both image creation and conversion scenarios.

The conversion scenario is:

  $ qemu-img measure -f raw -O qcow2 input.img
  required bytes: 1327680
  fully allocated bytes: 1074069504

Here an existing image file is taken and the output includes the space required
for data from the input image file.

The creation scenario is:

  $ qemu-img measure -O qcow2 --size 5G
  required bytes: 327680
  fully allocated bytes: 1074069504

Stefan Hajnoczi (8):
  block: add bdrv_measure() API
  raw-format: add bdrv_measure() support
  qcow2: extract preallocation calculation function
  qcow2: extract image creation option parsing
  qcow2: add bdrv_measure() support
  qemu-img: add measure subcommand
  qemu-iotests: support per-format golden output files
  iotests: add test 178 for qemu-img measure
