job: Add job_cancel_requested()

Most callers of job_is_cancelled() actually want to know whether the job
is on its way to immediate termination.  For example, we refuse to pause
jobs that are cancelled; but this only makes sense for jobs that are
really actually cancelled.

A mirror job that is cancelled during READY with force=false should
absolutely be allowed to pause.  This "cancellation" (which is actually
a kind of completion) may take an indefinite amount of time, and so
should behave like any job during normal operation.  For example, with
on-target-error=stop, the job should stop on write errors.  (In
contrast, force-cancelled jobs should not get write errors, as they
should just terminate and not do further I/O.)

Therefore, redefine job_is_cancelled() to only return true for jobs that
are force-cancelled (which as of HEAD^ means any job that interprets the
cancellation request as a request for immediate termination), and add
job_cancel_requested() as the general variant, which returns true for
any jobs which have been requested to be cancelled, whether it be
immediately or after an arbitrarily long completion phase.

Finally, here is a justification for how different job_is_cancelled()
invocations are treated by this patch:

- block/mirror.c (mirror_run()):
  - The first invocation is a while loop that should loop until the job
    has been cancelled or scheduled for completion.  What kind of cancel
    does not matter, only the fact that the job is supposed to end.

  - The second invocation wants to know whether the job has been
    soft-cancelled.  Calling job_cancel_requested() is a bit too broad,
    but if the job were force-cancelled, we should leave the main loop
    as soon as possible anyway, so this should not matter here.

  - The last two invocations already check force_cancel, so they should
    continue to use job_is_cancelled().

- block/backup.c, block/commit.c, block/stream.c, anything in tests/:
  These jobs know only force-cancel, so there is no difference between
  job_is_cancelled() and job_cancel_requested().  We can continue using
  job_is_cancelled().

- job.c:
  - job_pause_point(), job_yield(), job_sleep_ns(): Only force-cancelled
    jobs should be prevented from being paused.  Continue using job_is_cancelled().

  - job_update_rc(), job_finalize_single(), job_finish_sync(): These
    functions are all called after the job has left its main loop.  The
    mirror job (the only job that can be soft-cancelled) will clear
    .cancelled before leaving the main loop if it has been
    soft-cancelled.  Therefore, these functions will observe .cancelled
    to be true only if the job has been force-cancelled.  We can
    continue to use job_is_cancelled().
    (Furthermore, conceptually, a soft-cancelled mirror job should not
    report to have been cancelled.  It should report completion (see
    also the block-job-cancel QAPI documentation).  Therefore, it makes
    sense for these functions not to distinguish between a
    soft-cancelled mirror job and a job that has completed as normal.)

  - job_completed_txn_abort(): All jobs other than @job have been
    force-cancelled.  job_is_cancelled() must be true for them.
    Regarding @job itself: job_completed_txn_abort() is mostly called
    when the job's return value is not 0.  A soft-cancelled mirror has a
    return value of 0, and so will not end up here then.
    However, job_cancel() invokes job_completed_txn_abort() if the job
    has been deferred to the main loop, which is mostly the case for
    completed jobs (which skip the assertion), but not for sure.
    To be safe, use job_cancel_requested() in this assertion.

  - job_complete(): This is function eventually invoked by the user
    (through qmp_block_job_complete() or qmp_job_complete(), or
    job_complete_sync(), which comes from qemu-img).  The intention here
    is to prevent a user from invoking job-complete after the job has
    been cancelled.  This should also apply to soft cancelling: After a
    mirror job has been soft-cancelled, the user should not be able to
    decide otherwise and have it complete as normal (i.e. pivoting to
    the target).

  - job_cancel(): Both functions are equivalent (see comment there), but
    we want to use job_is_cancelled(), because this shows that we call
    job_completed_txn_abort() only for force-cancelled jobs.  (As
    explained for job_update_rc(), soft-cancelled jobs should be treated
    as if they have completed as normal.)
