Discussion for v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240528120114.344416-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com/

Changes in v3:
* Pass min_cluster_size option directly without checking
  has_min_cluster_size, because the default is 0 anyways.
* Calculate maximum of passed-in argument and default once at the
  beginning of block_copy_calculate_cluster_size()
* Update warning message to reflect actual value used
* Do not leak qdict in error case
* Use PRI{i,u}64 macros

Changes in v2:
* Use 'size' type in QAPI.
* Remove option in cbw_parse_options(), i.e. before parsing generic
  blockdev options.
* Reword commit messages hoping to describe the issue in a more
  straight-forward way.

In the context of backup fleecing, discarding the source will not work
when the fleecing image has a larger granularity than the one used for
block-copy operations (can happen if the backup target has smaller
cluster size), because cbw_co_pdiscard_snapshot() will align down the
discard requests and thus effectively ignore then.

To make @discard-source work in such a scenario, allow specifying the
minimum cluster size used for block-copy operations and thus in
particular also the granularity for discard requests to the source.

  copy-before-write: allow specifying minimum cluster size
  backup: add minimum cluster size to performance options
