for the mirror job. The bitmap's granularity is used as the job's
granularity.

The new @bitmap parameter is marked unstable in the QAPI and can
currently only be used for @sync=full mode.

Clusters initially dirty in the bitmap as well as new writes are
copied to the target.

Using block-dirty-bitmap-clear and block-dirty-bitmap-merge API,
callers can simulate the three kinds of @BitmapSyncMode (which is used
by backup):
1. always: default, just pass bitmap as working bitmap.
2. never: copy bitmap and pass copy to the mirror job.
3. on-success: copy bitmap and pass copy to the mirror job and if
    successful, merge bitmap into original afterwards.

When the target image is a non-COW "diff image", i.e. one that was not
used as the target of a previous mirror and the target image's cluster
size is larger than the bitmap's granularity, or when
@copy-mode=write-blocking is used, there is a pitfall, because the
cluster in the target image will be allocated, but not contain all the
data corresponding to the same region in the source image.

An idea to avoid the limitation would be to mark clusters which are
affected by unaligned writes and are not allocated in the target image
dirty, so they would be copied fully later. However, for migration,
the invariant that an actively synced mirror stays actively synced
(unless an error happens) is useful, because without that invariant,
migration might inactivate block devices when mirror still got work
to do and run into an assertion failure [0].

Another approach would be to read the missing data from the source
upon unaligned writes to be able to write the full target cluster
instead.

But certain targets like NBD do not allow querying the cluster size.
To avoid limiting/breaking the use case of syncing to an existing
target, which is arguably more common than the diff image use case,
document the limitation in QAPI.

This patch was originally based on one by Ma Haocong, but it has since
been modified pretty heavily, first by John and then again by Fiona.

why not do that in existing mirror_exit_common, where we already do
