Before, we cancel all the child requests with bdrv_aio_cancel, then free

Now we just kick off asynchronous cancellation of child requests and
return, we know quorum_aio_cb will be called later, so in the end
quorum_aio_finalize will take care of calling the caller's cb.

block/quorum: add simple read pattern support

This patch adds single read pattern to quorum driver and quorum vote is default
pattern.

For now we do a quorum vote on all the reads, it is designed for unreliable
underlying storage such as non-redundant NFS to make sure data integrity at the
cost of the read performance.

For some use cases as following:

VM
--------------
| |
v v
A B

Both A and B has hardware raid storage to justify the data integrity on its own.
So it would help performance if we do a single read instead of on all the nodes.
Further, if we run VM on either of the storage node, we can make a local read
request for better performance.

This patch generalize the above 2 nodes case in the N nodes. That is,

vm -> write to all the N nodes, read just one of them. If single read fails, we
try to read next node in FIFO order specified by the startup command.

The 2 nodes case is very similar to DRBD[1] though lack of auto-sync
functionality in the single device/node failure for now. But compared with DRBD
we still have some advantages over it:

- Suppose we have 20 VMs running on one(assume A) of 2 nodes' DRBD backed
storage. And if A crashes, we need to restart all the VMs on node B. But for
practice case, we can't because B might not have enough resources to setup 20 VMs
at once. So if we run our 20 VMs with quorum driver, and scatter the replicated
images over the data center, we can very likely restart 20 VMs without any
resource problem.

After all, I think we can build a more powerful replicated image functionality
on quorum and block jobs(block mirror) to meet various High Availibility needs.

E.g, Enable single read pattern on 2 children,

-drive driver=quorum,children.0.file.filename=0.qcow2,\
children.1.file.filename=1.qcow2,read-pattern=fifo,vote-threshold=1

block: Rewrite the snapshot authorization mechanism for block filters.

This patch keep the recursive way of doing things but simplify it by giving
two responsabilities to all block filters implementors.

They will need to do two things:

-Set the is_filter field of their block driver to true.

-Implement the bdrv_recurse_is_first_non_filter method of their block driver like
it is done on the Quorum block driver. (block/quorum.c)

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> pointed out that this patch changes
the semantics of blkverify, which now recurses down both bs->file and
s->test_file.

quorum: Simplify quorum_open()

Although it may not look like it, this patch simplifies quorum_open().
qdict_array_split() is now able to return QLists with different objects
than only QDicts, therefore it will now do all the work and
quorum_open() does not have to handle reference strings by itself.

This allows mixing full option dicts and reference strings for
specifying the child block devices of quorum; furthermore, it improves
handling of malformed specifications.
