Hi,

This new migration parameter allows mapping block node names and bitmap
names to aliases for the purpose of block dirty bitmap migration.

This way, management tools can use different node names on the source
and destination and pass the mapping of how bitmaps are to be
transferred to qemu (on the source, the destination, or even both with
arbitrary aliases in the migration stream).


v5:
- Patch 1:
  - QAPI documentation: On the destination, unmapped aliases are not
    just reported and that’s it – encountering one will actually lead to
    the whole rest of the bitmap migration data being discarded.

  - Use sizeof_field instead of hand-coding it

  - %s/255/UINT8_MAX/

  - s/Unable to read bitmap name string/
      Unable to read bitmap alias string/

  - Cancellation on unknown incoming bitmap aliases was handled
    improperly; it should be handled properly now

- Old patch 2: Dropped

- Patch 3 (was 4): Use discards instead of writes to dirty the bitmap


git-backport-diff against v4:

Key:
[----] : patches are identical
[####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch
[down] : patch is downstream-only
The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively
