This changes the x-blockdev-create QMP command so that it doesn't block
the monitor and the main loop any more, but starts a background job that
performs the image creation.

The basic job as implemented here is all that is necessary to make image
creation asynchronous and to provide a QMP interface that can be marked
stable, but it still lacks a few features that jobs usually provide: The
job will ignore pause commands and it doesn't publish progress yet (so
both current-progress and total-progress stay at 0). These features can
be added later without breaking compatibility.

Better be safe than sorry, but probably not strictly necessary
considering the job is always run in the main loop anyway (more on that
below, though).

Minor note: The comment above this if () block reads:

    /* Call callback if it exists */

Which is now no longer really what is happening.  It just checks whether
the block driver supports blockdev-create.

Hmmm...  The old code already used the main AIO context, but is that
correct?  When you create a qcow2 node on top of a file node, shouldn't
you use the AIO context of the file node?

I see that figuring out the correct context generically may be difficult
to impossible, so OK, maybe we should just run image creation in the
main context for now.  But then, qcow2 (and other formats) should at
least take a lock on their file's context, which they don't seem to do.

So I suppose I can give a

for this patch, but I think some block drivers need some locking.

This comes down to "user error", but now that the monitor and main loop are
not blocked (which is good), should we try at all to catch/prevent a
blockdev-add that is issued before a blockdev-create completion?

Hm, currently, the .bdrv_co_create implementations usually do this:

    blk = blk_new(BLK_PERM_WRITE | BLK_PERM_RESIZE, BLK_PERM_ALL);

I'm not sure if BLK_PERM_ALL is the best options for the shared
permissions, but anyway format drivers can't share BLK_PERM_WRITE on
their part, so I think we already do prevent this by taking the
BLK_PERM_WRITE permission.
