Eric Blake b7e73585a8 blockcopy: allow block device destination
To date, anyone performing a block copy and pivot ends up with
the destination being treated as <disk type='file'>.  While this
works for data access for a block device, it has at least one
noticeable shortcoming: virDomainGetBlockInfo() reports allocation
differently for block devices visited as files (the size of the
device) than for block devices visited as <disk type='block'>
(the maximum sector used, as reported by qemu); and this difference
is significant when trying to manage qcow2 format on block devices
that can be grown as needed.

Of course, the more powerful virDomainBlockCopy() API can already
express the ability to set the <disk> type.  But a new API can't
be backported, while a new flag to an existing API can; and it is
also rather inconvenient to have to resort to the full power of
generating XML when just adding a flag to the older call will do
the trick.  So this patch enhances blockcopy to let the user flag
when the resulting XML after the copy must list the device as
type='block'.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_DEV):
New flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainBlockRebase): Document it.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (opts_block_copy, blockJobImpl): Add
--blockdev option.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcopy): Document it.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockRebase): Allow new flag.
(qemuDomainBlockCopy): Remember the flag, and make sure it is only
used on actual block devices.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-mirror.xml: Test it.
