The thread pool regulates itself: when idle, it kills threads until
empty, when in demand, it creates new threads until full. This behaviour
doesn't play well with latency sensitive workloads where the price of
creating a new thread is too high. For example, when paired with qemu's
'-mlock', or using safety features like SafeStack, creating a new thread
has been measured take multiple milliseconds.
In order to mitigate this let's introduce a new 'EventLoopBase'
property to set the thread pool size. The threads will be created during
the pool's initialization or upon updating the property's value, remain
available during its lifetime regardless of demand, and destroyed upon
freeing it. A properly characterized workload will then be able to
configure the pool to avoid any latency spikes.

'event-loop-base' provides basic property handling for all 'AioContext'
based event loops. So let's define a new 'MainLoopClass' that inherits
from it. This will permit tweaking the main loop's properties through
qapi as well as through the command line using the '-object' keyword[1].
Only one instance of 'MainLoopClass' might be created at any time.
'EventLoopBaseClass' learns a new callback, 'can_be_deleted()' so as to
mark 'MainLoop' as non-deletable.
[1] For example:
-object main-loop,id=main-loop,aio-max-batch=<value>

Introduce the 'event-loop-base' abstract class, it'll hold the
properties common to all event loops and provide the necessary hooks for
their creation and maintenance. Then have iothread inherit from it.
EventLoopBaseClass is defined as user creatable and provides a hook for
its children to attach themselves to the user creatable class 'complete'
function. It also provides an update_params() callback to propagate
property changes onto its children.
The new 'event-loop-base' class will live in the root directory. It is
built on its own using the 'link_whole' option (there are no direct
function dependencies between the class and its children, it all happens
trough 'constructor' magic). And also imposes new compilation
dependencies:
qom <- event-loop-base <- blockdev (iothread.c)
And in subsequent patches:
qom <- event-loop-base <- qemuutil (util/main-loop.c)
All this forced some amount of reordering in meson.build:
- Moved qom build definition before qemuutil. Doing it the other way
around (i.e. moving qemuutil after qom) isn't possible as a lot of
core libraries that live in between the two depend on it.
- Process the 'hw' subdir earlier, as it introduces files into the
'qom' source set.
No functional changes intended.

A global boolean variable "vga_interface_created"(declared in softmmu/globals.c)
has been used to track the creation of vga interface. If the vga flag is passed
in the command line "default_vga"(declared in softmmu/vl.c) variable is set to 0.
To warn user, the condition checks if vga_interface_created is false
and default_vga is equal to 0. If "-vga none" is passed, this patch will not warn the
user regarding the creation of VGA device.
The warning "A -vga option was passed but this
machine type does not use that option; no VGA device has been created"
is logged if vga flag is passed but no vga device is created.
This patch has been tested for x86_64, i386, sparc, sparc64 and arm boards.

When pulling or pushing an OS context from/to a CPU, we should
re-evaluate the state of the External interrupt signal. Otherwise, we
can end up catching the External interrupt exception in hypervisor
mode, which is unexpected.
The problem is best illustrated with the following scenario:
1. an External interrupt is raised while the guest is on the CPU.
2. before the guest can ack the External interrupt, an hypervisor
interrupt is raised, for example the Hypervisor Decrementer or
Hypervisor Virtualization interrupt. The hypervisor interrupt forces
the guest to exit while the External interrupt is still pending.
3. the hypervisor handles the hypervisor interrupt. At this point, the
External interrupt is still pending. So it's very likely to be
delivered while the hypervisor is running. That's unexpected and can
result in an infinite loop where the hypervisor catches the External
interrupt, looks for an interrupt in its hypervisor queue, doesn't
find any, exits the interrupt handler with the External interrupt
still raised, repeat...
The fix is simply to always lower the External interrupt signal when
pulling an OS context. It means it needs to be raised again when
re-pushing the OS context. Fortunately, it's already the case, as we
now always call xive_tctx_ipb_update(), which will raise the signal if
needed.

The qemu_*block() functions are meant to be be used with sockets (the
win32 implementation expects SOCKET)
Over time, those functions where used with Win32 SOCKET or
file-descriptors interchangeably. But for portability, they must only be
used with socket-like file-descriptors. FDs can use
g_unix_set_fd_nonblocking() instead.
Rename the functions with "socket" in the name to prevent bad usages.
This is effectively reverting commit f9e8cacc55 ("oslib-posix:
rename socket_set_nonblock() to qemu_set_nonblock()").

1. Allocating and initiating accumulative hash digest write buffer
with initial state.
* Since QEMU crypto/hash api doesn't provide the API to set initial
state of hash library, and the initial state is already set by
crypto library (gcrypt/glib/...), so skip this step.
2. Calculating accumulative hash digest.
(a) When receiving the last accumulative data, software need to add
padding message at the end of the accumulative data. Padding
message described in specific of MD5, SHA-1, SHA224, SHA256,

Like -set and -readconfig, it would not really be too hard to
extend -writeconfig to parsing mechanisms other than QemuOpts.
However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more
limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration
by hand in the first place. In addition, -writeconfig does
not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect
syntax (for example if values have a quote in them, since
qemu_config_parse does not support any kind of escaping.
Just remove it.
