[Qemu-block] [RFC PATCH 00/19] block: Configuration fixes and rbd authentication

[Markus Armbruster]

This series is RFC because:

* It clashes with parts of Max's "[PATCH 00/13] block: Try to create
  well typed json:{} filenames".  I missed that one until too late,
  sorry.

  - I stole "[PATCH 06/13] block: Add block-specific QDict header",
    and tacked on fixups I'd like to have.

  - My qobject_input_visitor_new_flat_confused() addresses the same
    general problem as Max's qdict_stringify_for_keyval(): the block
    layer's confused use of QObject types.  My solution fixes a number
    of bugs in -blockdev, blockdev-add and -drive.  If Max's solution
    adds further value, we need to merge the two somehow.

  - I changed qdict_flatten() to fix -blockdev and blockdev-add for
    empty objects and arrays.  Max fixed it to not mess up shallow
    clones.  We need to merge the two.

* Rbd testing is incomplete.  Jeff Cody volunteered to test on his
  rig.  Results should be in soon.

Perhaps the series should be split in two: PATCH 01-17 are
configuration fixes, PATCH 18-19 are rbd authentication work.  I may
still do that for the non-RFC patch submission.
