b6545bcec1 qemublocktest: Convert all 'gluster' instances to 'nbd' in 'xml2json' cases
Gluster will be deprecated in the upcoming qemu version thus we need to
replace the network protocol by something which will stay supported so
that we can keep the tests around.

Convert all cases referencing 'gluster' to 'nbd'.

2c4c347c4b qemu: block: Use 'auto-read-only' instead of 'read-only' for backing chain
To allow using -blockdev with blockjobs QEMU needs to reopen files in
read-write mode when modifying the backing chain. To achieve this we
need to use 'auto-read-only' for the backing files rather than the
normal 'read-only' property. That way qemu knows that the files need to
be reopened.

Note that the format drivers (e.g. qcow2) are still opened with the
read-only property enabled when being a member of the backing chain
since they are supposed to be immutable unless a block job is started.

QEMU v4.0 (since commit 23dece19da4) allows also dynamic behaviour for
auto-read-only which allows us to use sVirt as we only grant write
permissions to files when doing a blockjob.

b8240fe704 qemu: block: Don't nest storage layer properties into format layer
Reference the storage via node name rather than inlining it. This is
the approach that will be used with -blockdev/blockdev-add since it
allows more control and is more future proof.

ac71f4e6d5 tests: qemublock: Add test cases for 'aio' options of 'file' storage
Test that the 'aio' option is applied correctly for the 'file' protocol
backend and across the backing chain.

The top level disk image would generate the following '-drive' cmdline:

file-backing_basic-aio_threads:
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/a,format=qcow,if=none,id=drive-dummy,aio=threads
-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive-dummy,id=dummy

file-raw-aio_native:
-drive file=/path/to/i.img,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-dummy,cache=none,aio=native
-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive-dummy,id=dummy,write-cache=on
