In the context of backup fleecing, discarding the source will not work
when the fleecing image has a larger granularity than the one used for
block-copy operations (can happen if the backup target has smaller
cluster size), because cbw_co_pdiscard_snapshot() will align down the
discard requests and thus effectively ignore then.

To make @discard-source work in such a scenario, allow specifying the
minimum cluster size used for block-copy operations and thus in
particular also the granularity for discard requests to the source.

The type 'size' (corresponding to uint64_t in C) is used in QAPI to
rule out negative inputs and for consistency with already existing
@cluster-size parameters. Since block_copy_calculate_cluster_size()
uses int64_t for its result, a check that the input is not too large
is added in block_copy_state_new() before calling it. The calculation
in block_copy_calculate_cluster_size() is done in the target int64_t
type.

Changes in v2:
* Use 'size' type in QAPI.
* Remove option in cbw_parse_options(), i.e. before parsing generic
  blockdev options.

BLOCK_COPY_CLUSTER_SIZE_DEFAULT gets promoted from int to
min_cluster_size's type int64_t even without the cast.  The cast makes
it explicit.  Matter of taste, and I'm not the maintainer here :)

This is now more obviously safe.  Thanks!

You can pass opts->min_cluster_size directly, as in v1.  When
!opts->has_min_cluster_size, then opts->min_cluster_size is zero.

instead of triple use MAX(min_..., let's just do

    min_cluster_size = MAX(min_cluster_size, (int64_t)BLOCK_COPY_CLUSTER_SIZE_DEFAULT);

at start of function, and then use min_cluster_size


anyway:
