block: Framework for reopening files safely

This is based on Supriya Kannery's bdrv_reopen() patch series.

This provides a transactional method to reopen multiple
images files safely.

Image files are queue for reopen via bdrv_reopen_queue(), and the
reopen occurs when bdrv_reopen_multiple() is called.  Changes are
staged in bdrv_reopen_prepare() and in the equivalent driver level
functions.  If any of the staged images fails a prepare, then all
of the images left untouched, and the staged changes for each image
abandoned.

Block drivers are passed a reopen state structure, that contains:
    * BDS to reopen
    * flags for the reopen
    * opaque pointer for any driver-specific data that needs to be
      persistent from _prepare to _commit/_abort
    * reopen queue pointer, if the driver needs to queue additional
      BDS for a reopen
