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

ran into this when live-restoring a backup configured for IO-threads,
got the good ol':
> qemu: qemu_mutex_unlock_impl: Operation not permitted
error.
Checking out the history of the related bdrv_backup_top_drop(*bs)
method, we can see that it used to do the AIO context acquiring too,
but in the backup path this was problematic and was changed to be
higher up in the call path in a upstream series from Stefan[0].
That said, this is a completely different code path and it is safe to
do so here. We always run from the main threads's AIO context here
and we call it only indirectly once, guarded by checking for
`s->drop_state == DropNone` and set `s->drop_state = DropRequested`
shortly before we schedule the track_drop() in a bh.

Reads just nicer with a drain begin *and* end call. Also clearing the
backing link of the alloc track BDS makes it closer to
bdrv_backup_top_drop() with which this driver has a bit in common.

cherry-picked cleanly from 6.0 development tree, fixes an issue with
resizing RBD drives (and reportedly also on krbd or potentially other
storage backends) with iothreads.

See added patches for more info, overview:
0044: slightly increase PBS performance by reducing allocations
0045: slightly increase block-stream performance for Ceph
0046: don't crash with block-stream on RBD
0047: add alloc-track driver for live restore

Saving dirty bitmaps from our savevm-async code didn't work, since we
use a coroutine which holds the iothread mutex already (upstream savevm
is sync, migration uses a thread). Release the mutex before calling the
one function that (according to it's documentation) requires the lock to
*not* be held: qemu_savevm_state_pending.
Additionally, loading dirty bitmaps requires a call to
dirty_bitmap_mig_before_vm_start after "loadvm", which the upstream
savevm does explicitly afterwards - do that too.
This is exposed via the query-proxmox-support property
"pbs-dirty-bitmap-savevm".

Use blk_unref to drop the last reference, which will close the block
backend and flush all caches and outstanding writes.
This is especially important for restoring to Ceph, as the userspace
librbd caches will not be flushed if the application exits immediately,
leading to potentially incomplete restores.

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

Fixes vma restore when the target is an iSCSI storage which expects that
initiatorname. Also avoids the need to always explicitly set the initiatorname
in PVE code, thus fixing moving efidisks from and to such iSCSI storages.

jemalloc does not play nice with our Rust library (proxmox-backup-qemu),
specifically it never releases memory allocated from Rust to the OS.
This leads to a problem with larger caches (e.g. for the PBS block driver).
It appears to be related to this GitHub issue:
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/1398
The background_thread solution seems weirdly hacky, so let's disable
jemalloc entirely for now.

The idea in general is to migrate all the state, which is small for
us, in a single step once. But, QEMU only calls save state if we
return active true.
Hardcoding is-active to return true, like done initially, makes the
migration freeze, as QEMU thinks this is never done, and only stops
calling us and finishes after a few seconds.
So, add a state with an "active" boolean, set to true when
initializing a migration, and set it to false when the state was
saved.
