Sometimes it is useful to be able to add a node to the block graph that
takes or unshare a certain set of permissions for debugging purposes.
This patch adds this capability to blkdebug.

(Note that you cannot make blkdebug release or share permissions that it
needs to take or cannot share, because this might result in assertion
failures in the block layer.  But if the blkdebug node has no parents,
it will not take any permissions and share everything by default, so you
can then freely choose what permissions to take and share.)

Hmm, you consider it as a success, so you mean default. Then, it's safer to
set *dest = 0 here.

I'd prefer explicitly set *dest = 0 here too.

Hmm, so, you rely on correct correspondence between generated BlockPermission enum
and unnamed enum with BLK_PERM_* constants...

I'm afraid it's unsafe, so, in xdbg_graph_add_edge() special mapping variable is
used + QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON on BLK_PERM_ALL.

I think something like this should be done here.

“Safer” depends on the purpose of this function, and right now it’s
simply to set all fields that are given in the options; not to reset any
that aren’t.

I suppose there’s no harm in changing the purpose of the function, though.

I don’t really like it because I think it’s cool to have a 1-to-1
relationship between the BLK_PERM_* constants and what’s defined in
QAPI.  I don’t quite like assuming there isn’t, because there’s no
reason why they wouldn’t correspond.

In fact, I’d rather define the BLK_PERM_* constants based on the QAPI
enum, but I don’t know whether we want to include the QAPI header into
block.h.  ...Well, judging from a quick test it looks like the header is
included into it recursively anyway.  So maybe I’ll do that instead.
