          "[PATCH v4 00/20] block: transactionless incremental backup series"

This series adds support for incremental backup primitives in QMP
transactions. It requires my transactionless incremental backup series,
currently at v4.

Patch 1 adds basic support for add and clear transactions.
Patch 2 tests this basic support.
Patches 3-4 refactor transactions a little bit, to add clarity.
Patch 5 adds the framework for error scenarios where only
    some jobs that were launched by a transaction complete successfully,
    and we need to perform context-sensitive cleanup after the transaction
    itself has already completed.
Patches 6-7 add necessary bookkeeping information to backup job
    data structures to take advantage of this new feature.
Patch 8 just moves code.
Patch 9 modifies qmp_drive_backup to support the new feature.
Patch 10 implements the new feature for drive_backup transaction actions.
Patch 11 tests the new feature.

Lingering questions:
 - Is it worth it to add a post-transaction completion event to QMP that
   signifies all jobs launched by the transaction have completed? This
   would be of primary interest to libvirt, in particular, but only as
   a convenience feature.

Thank you,
--John Snow

 01: Fixed indentation.
     Fixed QMP commands to behave with new bitmap_lookup from
       transactionless-v4.
     2.3 --> 2.4.
 02: Folded in improvements to qemu-iotest 124 from transactional-v1.
 03: NEW
 04: NEW
 05: A lot:
     Don't delete the comma in the transaction actions config
     use g_new0 instead of g_malloc0
     Phrasing: "retcode" --> "Return code"
     Use GCC attributes to mark functions as unused until future patches.
     Added some data structure documentation.
     Many structure and function renames, hopefully to improve readability.
     Use just one list for all Actions instead of two separate lists.
     Remove ActionState from the list upon deletion/decref
     And many other small tweaks.
 06: Comment phrasing.
 07: Removed errp parameter from all functions introduced by this commit.
     bdrv_dirty_bitmap_decref --> bdrv_frozen_bitmap_decref
 08: NEW
 09: _drive_backup --> do_drive_backup()
     Forward declarations removed.
 10: Rebased on top of drastically modified #05.
     Phrasing: "BackupBlockJob" instead of "BackupJob" in comments.
 11: Removed extra parameters to wait_incremental() in
       test_transaction_failure()
