Add 'features' field in the schema for commands and add a feature flag
to advertise that the fix for savevm [1] is present.
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-09/msg03487.html
v2:
- fixed typos pointed out by Eric
- added 'since' tag
- reworded to describe the fix this allows to detect properly (Kevin)
- verified that this can be rebased on top of Markus' series
automatically

Similarly to features for struct types introduce the feature flags also
for commands. This will allow notifying management layers of fixes and
compatible changes in the behaviour of a command which may not be
detectable any other way.
The changes were heavily inspired by commit 6a8c0b51025.

savevm was buggy as it considered all monitor owned block device nodes
for snapshot. With introduction of -blockdev the common usage made all
nodes including protocol nodes monitor owned and thus considered for
snapshot. This was fixed but clients need to be able to detect whether
this fix is present.
Since savevm does not have an QMP alternative add the feature for the
'human-monitor-command' backdoor which is used to call this command in
modern use.

+1 on adding features to commands.
Patch conflicts with the technical debt payback work I posted before and
after this series, although not nearly as badly as I expected. It'll
conflict some more with the parts I haven't flushed. The funny bit: I
went on that rampage in preparation of QAPI language extensions
including "features everywhere, not just structs".
I'll look into how to best fit your work into mine.

Thanks. I have patches ready which depend on this to enable blockdev so
please let me know if the design changes somehow.

Eww. I don't have better ideas short of "design and implement a sane
QMP interface to internal snapshots", which is too much work.

No space before ':'.
Short form would do:

Conflicts semantically with commit eeb57c85da "qapi: Avoid redundant
definition references in error messages", which changes the code you
copy in a way that makes editing it superfluous. Please factor it into
a helper function check_features(features, info).

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] qapi: Add feature flags to commands in qapi
Similarly to features for struct types introduce the feature flags also
for commands. This will allow notifying management layers of fixes and
compatible changes in the behaviour of a command which may not be
detectable any other way.
The changes were heavily inspired by commit 6a8c0b51025.

Old way: using QMP add_device, you create a drive backend with two BDS
(format and protocol) assigned to it; the drive backend has your given
name, and both BDS have a generated name (beginning with '#'). The two
BDS are not monitor-owned, rather, the drive is.
New way: using QMP blockdev_add, you create the two BDS manually with
names of your choice, then plug that blockdev into an unnamed
blockbackend (the drive no longer needs a name, because you can get at
everything through the BDS name). You _could_ do this in one step (the
QAPI allows self-recursion where you can define both the format and
protocol in one step), but it is easier to do in two steps (define the
protocol BDS first, then define the format BDS using a "string" name of
the protocol BDS instead of a { "driver":..., args... } object of the
protocol layer. But by making two calls, now both BDS are monitor-owned.
At snapshot-time, the code currently looks for all monitor-owned nodes
when deciding what to snapshot. In the old way, this finds the named
drive, picks up its associated top-most node, and snapshots the format
layer. In the new way, the drive is unnamed so it is skipped, while
there are two named BDS, but we don't want a snapshot of the protocol layer.

Adding a feature to some existing command should suffice.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] qapi: Add feature flags to commands in qapi
Similarly to features for struct types introduce the feature flags also
for commands. This will allow notifying management layers of fixes and
compatible changes in the behaviour of a command which may not be
detectable any other way.
The changes were heavily inspired by commit 6a8c0b51025.

Actually, the most common protocol driver is file-posix, which doesn't
support snapshots, so usually the result was that savevm just fails
because it can't snapshot something that it (incorrectly) thinks it
should snapshot.

v3's commit message:
qapi: Allow introspecting fix for savevm's cooperation with blockdev
'savevm' was buggy as it considered all monitor-owned block device nodes
for snapshot. With introduction of -blockdev the common usage made all
nodes including protocol and backing file nodes monitor-owned and thus
considered for snapshot.
This is a problem since the 'file' protocol nodes can't have internal
snapshots and it does not make sense to take snapshot of nodes
representing backing files.
This was fixed by commit 05f4aced658a02b02 clients need to be able to
detect whether this fix is present.
Since savevm does not have an QMP alternative, add the feature for the
'human-monitor-command' backdoor which is used to call this command in
modern use.
