To maintain load/store disabled bitmap there is new approach:
- deprecate @autoload flag of block-dirty-bitmap-add, make it ignored
- store enabled bitmaps as "auto" to qcow2
- store disabled bitmaps without "auto" flag to qcow2
- on qcow2 open load "auto" bitmaps as enabled and others
as disabled (except in_use bitmaps)
Also, adjust iotests 165 and 176 appropriately.

Won't later patches be adding the ability to enable/disable bitmaps,
which then affects whether they are autoloaded? So we don't forget to
revisit this text in that patch, a better wording might be:
The "autoload" parameter is ignored; all enabled persistent dirty
bitmaps are automatically loaded from a qcow2 image, regardless of the
initial setting requested in this parameter.
hmm.. no. all bitmaps are loaded, even disabled ones. Before this patch
there is
no way to have disabled bitmap in qemu (by loading or by creating).
After the patch, we have a theoretical way of creating such bitmap in
qcow2 image, then
it will be loaded as disabled.
Also, we can store bitmap with persistent=true and autoload=false before
this patch, and there is no way
to load this bitmap before this patch, but after this patch it will be
loaded as disabled.

Will later patches be reintroducing these functions for learning which
bitmaps are enabled/disabled? But I'm okay with deleting them in this
patch, even if that is more churn.
no, actually the aim of the patch is to drop buggy relation between
autoload qmp parameter
and auto qcow2 flag (which is more like "enabled" then "autoload"). Look
at "Reasoning" in head
letter for details.
