Mostly minor changes, bigger ones summarized:
* QEMU's internal backup code now uses a new async system, which allows
parallel requests - the default max_workers settings is 64, I chose
less, since 64 put enough stress on QEMU that the guest became
practically unusable during the backup, and 16 still shows quite a
nice measureable performance improvement. Little code changes for us
though.
* 'malformed' QAPI parameters/functions are now a build error (i.e.
using '_' vs '-'), I chose to just whitelist our calls in the name of
backwards compatibility.
* monitor OOB race fix now uses the upstream variant, cherry-picked from
origin/master since it's not in 6.0 by default
* last patch fixes a bug with snapshot rollback related to the new yank
system

Lots of patches touched and some slight changes to the build process
since QEMU switched to meson as their build system. Functionality-wise
very little rebasing required.
New patches introduced:
* pve/0058: to fix VMA backups and clean up some code in general with
new 5.2 features now available to us (namely coroutine-enabled QMP).
* extra/0002: don't build man pages for guest agent when disabled
* extra/0003: fix live-migration with hugepages
* 0017 and 0018 are adjusted to fix snapshot abort and improve
snap performance a bit

No major semantic changes, mostly just deprecations and changed function
signatures. Drop the extra/ patches, as they have been applied upstream.
The added extra/ patch was accepted upstream[0] but has not been picked
up for 5.1. It is required for non-4M aligned backups to work with PBS.
