[PATCH] qemu-img: add support for rate limit in qemu-img commit

[Zhengui li]

From: Zhengui <lizhengui@huawei.com>

Currently, there is no rate limit for qemu-img commit. This may
cause the task of qemu-img commit to consume all the bandwidth
of the storage. This will affect the IO performance of other processes
and virtual machines under shared storage. So we add support for
offline rate limit in qemu-img commit to get better quality of sevice.

You should also update docs/tools/qemu-img.rst and explain what the new
parameter does.

You are using 'unsigned long long' here but qemu_strtou64() takes a
uint64_t.

And then you multiply that value by 1024*1024, which can overflow.

So I understand that the value received by 'qemu-img' is in megabytes?
Is there a reason for using that and not bytes?

qemu-img.c provides cvtnum() and cvtnum_full() which allow the user to
specify the units.
