qemu-img: Unify [-b [-F]] documentation
qemu-img convert documents the backing file and backing format options
as follows:
[-B backing_file [-F backing_fmt]]
whereas qemu-img create has this:
[-b backing_file] [-F backing_fmt]
That is, for convert, we document that -F cannot be given without -B,
while for create, way say that they are independent.
Indeed, it is technically possible to give -F without -b, because it is
left to the block driver to decide whether this is an error or not, so
sometimes it is:
$ qemu-img create -f qed -F qed test.qed 64M
Formatting 'test.qed', fmt=qed size=67108864 backing_fmt=qed [...]
And sometimes it is not:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F qcow2 test.qcow2 64M
Formatting 'test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 cluster_size=65536 [...]
qemu-img: test.qcow2: Backing format cannot be used without backing file
Generally, it does not make much sense, though, and users should only
give -F with -b, so document it that way, as we have already done for
qemu-img convert (commit 1899bf47375ad40555dcdff12ba49b4b8b82df38).

docs: standardize directory index to --- with overline
Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory.
Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g.
=== for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the
Linux kernel guidelines[1]. They could do it anyway, because documents
included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied
to the same conventions for headings. However, keeping some consistency is
useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

qemu-img: Add --skip-broken-bitmaps for 'convert --bitmaps'
The point of 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps' is to be a convenience for
actions that are already possible through a string of smaller
'qemu-img bitmap' sub-commands. One situation not accounted for
already is that if a source image contains an inconsistent bitmap (for
example, because a qemu process died abruptly before flushing bitmap
state), the user MUST delete those inconsistent bitmaps before
anything else useful can be done with the image.
We don't want to delete inconsistent bitmaps by default: although a
corrupt bitmap is only a loss of optimization rather than a corruption
of user-visible data, it is still nice to require the user to opt in
to the fact that they are aware of the loss of the bitmap. Still,
requiring the user to check 'qemu-img info' to see whether bitmaps are
consistent, then use 'qemu-img bitmap --remove' to remove offenders,
all before using 'qemu-img convert', is a lot more work than just
adding a knob 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps --skip-broken-bitmaps' which
opts in to skipping the broken bitmaps.
After testing the new option, also demonstrate the way to manually fix
things (either deleting bad bitmaps, or re-creating them as empty) so
that it is possible to convert without the option.

virtiofsd: Add an option to enable/disable posix acls
fuse has an option FUSE_POSIX_ACL which needs to be opted in by fuse
server to enable posix acls. As of now we are not opting in for this,
so posix acls are disabled on virtiofs by default.
Add virtiofsd option "-o posix_acl/no_posix_acl" to let users enable/disable
posix acl support. By default it is disabled as of now due to performance
concerns with cache=none.
Currently even if file server has not opted in for FUSE_POSIX_ACL, user can
still query acl and set acl, and system.posix_acl_access and
system.posix_acl_default xattrs show up listxattr response.
Miklos said this is confusing. So he said lets block and filter
system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default xattrs in
getxattr/setxattr/listxattr if user has explicitly disabled
posix acls using -o no_posix_acl.
As of now continuing to keeping the existing behavior if user did not
specify any option to disable acl support due to concerns about backward
compatibility.
