Hi all!

These series introduce backup-top driver. It's a filter-node, which
do copy-before-write operation. Mirror uses filter-node for handling
guest writes, let's move to filter-node (from write-notifiers) for
backup too

v5:

Now, based on John's bitmaps branch

patch "block: allow serialized reads to intersect" removed
03: reword comment (Kevin)
07: fix comments style
08: new
09: mostly rewritten
10: fix comment style
11: - fix comments style
    - fix uninitialized backup_top
    - fix return -> goto error if failed to
      append filter

v4:
fixes, rewrite driver to be implicit, drop new interfaces and
don't move to BdrvDirtyBitmap for now, as it's not obvious will
it be really needed and don't relate to these series more.

v3 was "[PATCH v3 00/18] fleecing-hook driver for backup"

v2 was "[RFC v2] new, node-graph-based fleecing and backup"

These series (v5) are based on John's bitmaps branch
