Extend the current module interface to allow for block drivers to be
loaded dynamically on request. The only block drivers that can be
converted into modules are the drivers that don't perform any init
operation except for registering themselves.
In addition, only the protocol drivers are being modularized, as they
are the only ones which see significant performance benefits. The format
drivers do not generally link to external libraries, so modularizing
them is of no benefit from a performance perspective.
All the necessary module information is located in a new structure found
in module_block.h
This spoils the purpose of 5505e8b76f (block/dmg: make it modular).
Before this patch, if module build is enabled, block-dmg.so is linked to
libbz2, whereas the main binary is not. In downstream, theoretically, it
means only the qemu-block-extra package depends on libbz2, while the
main QEMU package needn't to. With this patch, we (temporarily) change
the case so that the main QEMU depends on libbz2 again.

The only remaining users of machine_init() only call
qemu_add_opts(). Rename machine_init() to opts_init() and move it
closer to the qemu_add_opts() calls on vl.c.

Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.
This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.
NB: If this commit breaks compilation for your out-of-tree
patchseries or fork, then you need to make sure you add
#include "qemu/osdep.h" to any new .c files that you have.

This patch adds loading, stamp checking and initialization of modules.
The init function of dynamic module is no longer directly called as
__attribute__((constructor)) in static linked version, it is called
only after passed the checking of presense of stamp symbol:
qemu_stamp_$RELEASEHASH
where $RELEASEHASH is generated by hashing version strings and content
of configure script.
With this, modules built from a different tree/version/configure will
not be loaded.
The module loading code requires gmodule-2.0.
Modules are searched under
- CONFIG_MODDIR
- executable folder (to allow running qemu-{img,io} in the build
directory)
- ../ of executable folder (to allow running system emulator in the
build directory)
Modules are linked under their subdir respectively, then copied to top
level of build directory for above convinience, e.g.:
$(BUILD_DIR)/block/curl.so -> $(BUILD_DIR)/block-curl.so
