qtest: Allow and ignore blank lines in input

Currently the code that reads the qtest protocol commands insists
that every input line has a command. If it receives a line with
nothing but whitespace it will trip an assertion in
qtest_process_command().

This is a little awkward for the case where we are feeding qtest a
set of bug-reproduction commands via standard input or a file,
because it means you need to be careful not to leave a blank line at
the start or the end when cutting and pasting the command sequence
from a bug report.

Change the code to allow and ignore blank lines in the input.

system/qtest.c: Allow for multiple CHR_EVENT_CLOSED events

In the qtest_event() QEMUChrEvent handler, we create a timer
and log OPENED on CHR_EVENT_OPENED, and we destroy the timer and
log CLOSED on CHR_EVENT_CLOSED. However, the chardev subsystem
can send us more than one CHR_EVENT_CLOSED if we're reading from
a file chardev:
* the first one happens when we read the last data from the file
* the second one happens when the user hits ^C to exit QEMU
and the chardev is finalized: char_fd_finalize()

This causes us to call g_timer_elapsed() with a NULL timer
(which glib complains about) and print an extra CLOSED log line
with a zero timestamp:

[I +0.063829] CLOSED
qemu-system-aarch64: GLib: g_timer_elapsed: assertion 'timer != NULL' failed
[I +0.000000] CLOSED

Avoid this by ignoring a CHR_EVENT_CLOSED if we have already
processed one.

system/physmem: mark io_mem_unassigned lockless

When the Bus Master bit is disabled in a PCI device's Command Register,
the device's DMA address space becomes unassigned memory (i.e. the
io_mem_unassigned MemoryRegion).

This can lead to deadlocks with IOThreads since io_mem_unassigned
accesses attempt to acquire the Big QEMU Lock (BQL). For example,
virtio-pci devices deadlock in virtio_write_config() ->
virtio_pci_stop_ioeventfd() when waiting for the IOThread while holding
the BQL. The IOThread is unable to acquire the BQL but the vcpu thread
won't release the BQL while waiting for the IOThread.

io_mem_unassigned is trivially thread-safe since it has no state, it
simply rejects all load/store accesses. Therefore it is safe to enable
lockless I/O on io_mem_unassigned to eliminate this deadlock.

Here is the backtrace described above:

ram-block-attributes: fix interaction with hugetlb memory backends

Currently, CoCo VMs can perform conversion at the base page granularity,
which is the granularity that has to be tracked. In relevant setups, the
target page size is assumed to be equal to the host page size, thus
fixing the block size to the host page size.

However, since private memory and shared memory have different backend
at present, users can specify shared memory with a hugetlbfs backend
while private memory with guest_memfd backend only supports 4K page
size. In this scenario, ram_block->page_size is different from the host
page size which will trigger an assertion when retrieving the block
size.

To address this, return the host page size directly to relax the
restriction. This changes fixes a regression of using hugetlbfs backend
for shared memory within CoCo VMs, with or without VFIO devices' presence.

bql: Fix bql_locked status with condvar APIs

QEMU has a per-thread "bql_locked" variable stored in TLS section, showing
whether the current thread is holding the BQL lock.

It's a pretty handy variable. Function-wise, QEMU have codes trying to
conditionally take bql, relying on the var reflecting the locking status
(e.g. BQL_LOCK_GUARD), or in a GDB debugging session, we could also look at
the variable (in reality, co_tls_bql_locked), to see which thread is
currently holding the bql.

When using that as a debugging facility, sometimes we can observe multiple
threads holding bql at the same time. It's because QEMU's condvar APIs
bypassed the bql_*() API, hence they do not update bql_locked even if they
have released the mutex while waiting.

It can cause confusion if one does "thread apply all p co_tls_bql_locked"
and see multiple threads reporting true.

Fix this by moving the bql status updates into the mutex debug hooks. Now
the variable should always reflect the reality.

Implement -run-with exit-with-parent=on

Libguestfs wants to use qemu to run a captive appliance. When the
program linked to libguestfs exits, we want qemu to be cleaned up.
Libguestfs goes to great lengths to do this at the moment: it either
forks a separate process to ensure clean-up is done, or it asks
libvirt to clean up the qemu process. However this is complicated and
not totally reliable.

On Linux, FreeBSD and macOS, there are mechanisms to ensure a signal
or message is delivered to a process when its parent process goes
away. The qemu test suite even uses this mechanism on Linux (see
PR_SET_PDEATHSIG in tests/qtest/libqtest.c).

In nbdkit we have long had the concept of running nbdkit captively,
and we have the nbdkit --exit-with-parent flag to help
(https://libguestfs.org/nbdkit-captive.1.html#EXIT-WITH-PARENT)

This commit adds the same mechanism. The syntax is:

qemu -run-with exit-with-parent=on [...]

This is not a feature that most typical users of qemu (for running
general purpose, long-lived VMs) should use, so it defaults to off.

The exit-with-parent.[ch] files are copied from nbdkit, where they
have a 3-clause BSD license which is compatible with qemu:
