[Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>]

v4: - Fix raw offset and size. [Eric]
    - iscsi: Drop unnecessary return values and variables in favor of
      constants. [Stefan]
    - qcow2: Handle small backing case. [Stefan]
    - file-posix: Translate ENOSYS to ENOTSUP. [Stefan]
    - API documentation and commit message. [Stefan]
    - Add rev-by to patches 3, 5 - 10. [Stefan, Eric]

This series introduces block layer API for copy offloading and makes use of it
in qemu-img convert.

For now we implemented the operation in local file protocol with
copy_file_range(2).  Besides that it's possible to add similar to iscsi, nfs
and potentially more.

As far as its usage goes, in addition to qemu-img convert, we can emulate
offloading in scsi-disk (handle EXTENDED COPY command), and use the API in
block jobs too.
