This patchset is a cleanup of the previous QCOW2 deduplication rfc.

One can compile and install https://github.com/wernerd/Skein3Fish and use the
--enable-skein-dedup configure option in order to use the faster skein HASH.

Images must be created with "-o dedup=[skein|sha256]" in order to activate the
deduplication in the image.

Deduplication is now fast enough to be usable.

v4: Fix and complete qcow2 spec [Stefan]
    Hash the hash_algo field in the header extension [Stefan]
    Fix qcow2 spec [Eric]
    Remove pointer to hash and simplify hash memory management [Stefan]
    Rename and move qcow2_read_cluster_data to qcow2.c [Stefan]
    Document lock dropping behaviour of the previous function [Stefan]
    cleanup qcow2_dedup_read_missing_cluster_data [Stefan]
    rename *_offset to *_sect [Stefan]
    add a ./configure check for ssl [Stefan]
    Replace openssl by gnutls [Stefan]
    Implement Skein hashes
    Rewrite pretty every qcow2-dedup.c commits after Add
       qcow2_dedup_read_missing_and_concatenate to simplify the code
    Use 64KB deduplication hash block to reduce allocation flushes
    Use 64KB l2 tables to reduce allocation flushes [breaks compatibility]
    Use lazy refcounts to avoid qcow2_cache_set_dependency loops resultings
       in frequent caches flushes
    Do not create and load dedup RAM structures when bdrs->read_only is true

v3: make it work barely
    replace kernel red black trees by gtree.
