This patch series add a new extension - zoned format - to the
qcow2 driver thereby allowing full zoned storage emulation on
the qcow2 img file. Users can attach such a qcow2 file to the
guest as a zoned device.

To create a qcow2 file with zoned format, use command like this:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 test.qcow2 -o size=768M -o
zone_size=64M -o zone_capacity=64M -o zone_nr_conv=0 -o
max_append_sectors=512 -o max_open_zones=0 -o max_active_zones=0
-o zoned_profile=zbc

Then add it to the QEMU command line:
    -blockdev 
node-name=drive1,driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=../qemu/test.qcow2 
\
    -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive1 \

v1->v2:
- add more tests to qemu-io zoned commands
- make zone append change state to full when wp reaches end
- add documentation to qcow2 zoned extension header
- address review comments (Stefan):
  * fix zoned_mata allocation size
  * use bitwise or than addition
  * fix wp index overflow and locking
  * cleanups: comments, naming
