The point of 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps' is to be a convenience for
actions that are already possible through a string of smaller
'qemu-img bitmap' sub-commands. One situation not accounted for
already is that if a source image contains an inconsistent bitmap (for
example, because a qemu process died abruptly before flushing bitmap
state), the user MUST delete those inconsistent bitmaps before
anything else useful can be done with the image.
We don't want to delete inconsistent bitmaps by default: although a
corrupt bitmap is only a loss of optimization rather than a corruption
of user-visible data, it is still nice to require the user to opt in
to the fact that they are aware of the loss of the bitmap. Still,
requiring the user to check 'qemu-img info' to see whether bitmaps are
consistent, then use 'qemu-img bitmap --remove' to remove offenders,
all before using 'qemu-img convert', is a lot more work than just
adding a knob 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps --skip-broken-bitmaps' which
opts in to skipping the broken bitmaps.
After testing the new option, also demonstrate the way to manually fix
things (either deleting bad bitmaps, or re-creating them as empty) so
that it is possible to convert without the option.

The standard Sphinx/RTD HTML page footer gives a copyright line
(based on the 'copyright' variable set in conf.py) and a line "Built
with Sphinx using a theme provided by Read the Docs" (which can be
disabled via the html_show_sphinx variable, but we leave it enabled).
As a free software project, we'd like to also mention the license
QEMU and its manual are released under.
Add a template footer.html which defines the 'extrafooter' block that
the RtD theme provides for this purpose. The new line of text will
go below the existing copyright and sphinx-acknowledgement lines.
(Unfortunately the RTD footer template does not permit putting it
after the copyright but before the sphinx-acknowledgement.)
We use the templating functionality to make the new text also be a
hyperlink to the about/license.html page of the manual.
Unlike rst files, HTML template files are not reported to our depfile
plugin, so we maintain a manual list in meson.build. New template
files should be rare, so not being able to auto-generate the
dependency info is not too awkward.

Aside from a minor bloat to file size the ability to have TCG plugins
has no real impact on performance unless a plugin is actively loaded.
Even then the libempty.so plugin shows only a minor degradation in
performance caused by the extra book keeping the TCG has to do to keep
track of instructions. As it's a useful feature lets just enable it by
default and reduce our testing matrix a little.
We need to move our linker testing earlier so we can be sure we can
enable the loader module required. As we have ruled out static &
plugins in an earlier patch we can also reduce the indent a little.

To have the jobs dispatched to custom runners, gitlab-runner must
be installed, active as a service and properly configured. The
variables file and playbook introduced here should help with those
steps.
The playbook introduced here covers the Linux distributions and
has been primarily tested on OS/machines that the QEMU project
has available to act as runners, namely:
* Ubuntu 20.04 on aarch64
* Ubuntu 18.04 on s390x
But, it should work on all other Linux distributions. Earlier
versions were tested on FreeBSD too, so chances of success are
high.

As described in the included documentation, the "custom runner" jobs
extend the GitLab CI jobs already in place. One of their primary
goals of catching and preventing regressions on a wider number of host
systems than the ones provided by GitLab's shared runners.
This sets the stage in which other community members can add their own
machine configuration documentation/scripts, and accompanying job
definitions. As a general rule, those newly added contributed jobs
should run as "non-gating", until their reliability is verified (AKA
"allow_failure: true").

'cpu:VALUE'. The 'cpu' property is made available to the test object as well.
For example, for a simple test as:
def test(self):
"""
🥑 tags=cpu:host
"""
self.assertEqual(self.cpu, "host")
self.vm.launch()

The tests based on the LinuxTest class give the test writer a ready to
use guest operating system, currently pinned to Fedora 31.
With this change, it's now possible to choose different distros and
versions, similar to how other tags and parameter can be set for the
target arch, accelerator, etc.
One of the reasons for this work, is that some development features
depend on updates on the guest side. For instance the tests on
virtiofs_submounts.py, require newer kernels, and may benefit from
running, say on Fedora 34, without the need for a custom kernel.
Please notice that the pre-caching of the Fedora 31 images done during
the early stages of `make check-acceptance` (before the tests are
actually executed) are not expanded here to cover every new image
added. But, the tests will download other needed images (and cache
them) during the first execution.

Currently, the only eVMCS version, supported by KVM (and described in TLFS)
is '1'. When Enlightened VMCS feature is enabled, QEMU takes the supported
eVMCS version range (from KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS enablement) and
puts it to guest visible CPUIDs. When (and if) eVMCS ver.2 appears a
problem on migration is expected: it doesn't seem to be possible to migrate
from a host supporting eVMCS ver.2 to a host, which only support eVMCS
ver.1.
Hardcode eVMCS ver.1 as the result of 'hv-evmcs' enablement for now. Newer
eVMCS versions will have to have their own enablement options (e.g.
'hv-evmcs=2').

The recently-added NBD context qemu:allocation-depth is able to
distinguish between locally-present data (even when that data is
sparse) [shown as depth 1 over NBD], and data that could not be found
anywhere in the backing chain [shown as depth 0]; and the libnbd
project was recently patched to give the human-readable name "absent"
to an allocation-depth of 0. But qemu-img map --output=json predates
that addition, and has the unfortunate behavior that all portions of
the backing chain that resolve without finding a hit in any backing
layer report the same depth as the final backing layer. This makes it
harder to reconstruct a qcow2 backing chain using just 'qemu-img map'
output, especially when using "backing":null to artificially limit a
backing chain, because it is impossible to distinguish between a
QCOW2_CLUSTER_UNALLOCATED (which defers to a [missing] backing file)
and a QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN cluster (which would override any
backing file), since both types of clusters otherwise show as
"data":false,"zero":true" (but note that we can distinguish a
QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOCATED, which would also have an "offset":
listing).
The task of reconstructing a qcow2 chain was made harder in commit
0da9856851 (nbd: server: Report holes for raw images), because prior
to that point, it was possible to abuse NBD's block status command to
see which portions of a qcow2 file resulted in BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED
(showing up as NBD_STATE_ZERO in isolation) vs. missing from the chain
(showing up as NBD_STATE_ZERO|NBD_STATE_HOLE); but now qemu reports
more accurate sparseness information over NBD.
An obvious solution is to make 'qemu-img map --output=json' add an
additional "present":false designation to any cluster lacking an
allocation anywhere in the chain, without any change to the "depth"
parameter to avoid breaking existing clients. The iotests have
several examples where this distinction demonstrates the additional
accuracy.
