This is part 3 of the series "Modify block jobs to use node-names"

This has the auto-generated node names, and the addition of node-names
to block-commit and block-stream.

This maintains the same blocker convention that is in master, i.e. checking
the active layer blocker for commit.

Jeff Cody (4):
  block: Auto-generate node_names for each BDS entry
  block: Accept node-name arguments for block-commit
  block: add ability for block-stream to use node-name
  block: Add QMP documentation for block-stream

Currently, node_name is only filled in when done so explicitly by the
user.  If no node_name is specified, then the node name field is not
populated.

If node_names are automatically generated when not specified, that means
that all block job operations can be done by reference to the unique
node_name field.  This eliminates ambiguity in resolving filenames
(relative filenames, or file descriptors, symlinks, mounts, etc..) that
qemu currently needs to deal with.

If a node name is specified, then it will not be automatically
generated for that BDS entry.

If it is automatically generated, it will be prefaced with "__qemu##",
followed by 8 characters of a unique number, followed by 8 random
ASCII characters in the range of 'A-Z'.  Some sample generated node-name
strings:
    __qemu##00000000IAIYNXXR
    __qemu##00000002METXTRBQ
    __qemu##00000001FMBORDWG

The prefix is to aid in identifying it as a qemu-generated name, the
numeric portion is to guarantee uniqueness in a given qemu session, and
the random characters are to further avoid any accidental collisions
with user-specified node-names.

This modifies the block operation block-commit so that it will
accept node-name arguments for either 'top' or 'base' BDS.

The filename and node-name are mutually exclusive to each other;
i.e.:
    "top" and "top-node-name" are mutually exclusive (enforced)
    "base" and "base-node-name" are mutually exclusive (enforced)

The preferred and recommended method now of using block-commit
is to specify the BDS to operate on via their node-name arguments.

This also adds an explicit check that base_bs is in the chain of
top_bs, because if they are referenced by their unique node-name
arguments, the discovery process does not intrinsically verify
they are in the same chain.

This adds the ability for block-stream to use node-name arguments
for base, to specify the backing image to stream from.

Both 'base' and 'base-node-name' are optional, but mutually exclusive.
Either can be specified, but not both together.

The QMP command 'block-stream' was missing QMP documentation.  Add
that documentation.

+block-stream
+------------
+
+Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
+
+The block streaming operation is performed in the background until the entire
+backing file has been copied.  This command returns immediately once streaming
+has started.  The status of ongoing block streaming operations can be checked
+with query-block-jobs.  The operation can be stopped before it has completed
+using the block-job-cancel command.
+
+If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that base file and
+its backing chain.  When streaming completes the image file will have the base
+file as its backing file.  This can be used to stream a subset of the backing
+file chain instead of flattening the entire image.
+
+On successful completion the image file is updated to drop the backing file
+and the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event is emitted.
+
+- "device":         The device name.
+                    (json-string)
+
+For base, either 'base' or 'base-node-name' may be set but not both. If
+neither is specified, the entire chain will be streamed into the active image,
+and the chain will consist of a single image (the current active layer) with
+no backing file.
+
+- "base":           The common backing file name.
+                    (json-string, optional)
+
+- "base-node-name": The block driver state node name of the common backing file.
+                    (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
+
+- "backing-file":   The backing file string to write into the active layer.
+                    This filename is not validated.
+
+                    If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
+                    QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must
+                    use node-names for the image in question, as filename
+                    lookup methods will fail.
+
+                    If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
+                    backing file string to use, or error out if there is no
+                    obvious choice.  Care should be taken when specifying the
+                    string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.
+                    (json-string, optional)
+                    (Since 2.1)

+- "speed":          The maximum speed, in bytes per second.
+                    (json-int, optional)
+
+- "on-error":       The action to take on an error (default report).
+                    'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used if the block device
+                    supports io-status (see BlockInfo).
