Alias targets have a different name than the alias property itself
(e.g. a machine's pflash0 might be an alias of a property named 'drive').
When the target's getter or setter invokes the visitor, it will use
a different name than what the caller expects, and the visitor will
not be able to find it (or will consume erroneously).
The solution is for alias getters and setters to wrap the incoming
visitor, and forward the sole field that the target is expecting while
renaming it appropriately.
This bug has been there forever, but it was exposed after -M parsing
switched from QemuOptions and StringInputVisitor to keyval and
QObjectInputVisitor. Before, the visitor ignored the name. Now, it
checks "drive" against what was passed on the command line and finds
that no such property exists.

This new adaptor visitor takes a single field of the adaptee, and exposes it
with a different name.
This will be used for QOM alias properties. Alias targets can of course
have a different name than the alias property itself (e.g. a machine's
pflash0 might be an alias of a property named 'drive'). When the target's
getter or setter invokes the visitor, it will use a different name than
what the caller expects, and the visitor will not be able to find it

GitLab will happily publish pages generated by the latest CI pipeline
from any branch:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/introduction.html
"Remember that GitLab Pages are by default branch/tag agnostic
and their deployment relies solely on what you specify in
.gitlab-ci.yml. You can limit the pages job with the only
parameter, whenever a new commit is pushed to a branch used
specifically for your pages."
The current "pages" job is not limited, so it is happily publishing
docs content from any branch/tag in qemu.git that gets pushed to.
This means we're potentially publishing from the "staging" branch
or worse from outdated "stable-NNN" branches
This change restricts it to only publish from the default branch
in the main repository. For contributor forks, however, we allow
it to publish from any branch, since users will have arbitrarily
named topic branches in flight at any time.

Some cpu properties have to be set only for cpu models in builtin_x86_defs,
registered with x86_register_cpu_model_type, and not for
cpu models "base", "max", and the subclass "host".
These properties are the ones set by function x86_cpu_apply_props,
(also including kvm_default_props, tcg_default_props),
and the "vendor" property for the KVM and HVF accelerators.
After recent refactoring of cpu, which also affected these properties,
they were instead set unconditionally for all x86 cpus.
This has been detected as a bug with Nested on AMD with cpu "host",
as svm was not turned on by default, due to the wrongful setting of
kvm_default_props via x86_cpu_apply_props, which set svm to "off".
Rectify the bug introduced in commit "i386: split cpu accelerators"
and document the functions that are builtin_x86_defs-only.

Before commit 49afbca3b0 ("virtio-gpu: drop
use_virgl_renderer"), use_virgl_renderer was preventing calling GL
functions from non-GL context threads. The innocuously looking
g->parent_obj.use_virgl_renderer = false;
was set the first time virtio_gpu_gl_reset() was called, during
pc_machine_reset() in the main thread. Further virtio_gpu_gl_reset()
calls in IO threads, without associated GL context, were thus skipping
GL calls and avoided warnings or crashes (see also
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/virgl/virglrenderer/-/issues/226).

The "xen" variable should either contain "enabled", "disabled" or
nothing (for auto detection). But when the user currently runs the
configure script with --without-default-features, it gets set to
"no" instead. This does not work as expected, the feature will still
be enabled if the Xen headers are present. Thus set the variable
to "disabled" instead if default_feature switch has been set.

Adjust the "machine" opts enumeration in
qmp_query_command_line_options() so that options are properly reported.

The qemu.h file is a CONFIG_USER_ONLY header; it doesn't appear on
the include path for softmmu builds. Currently we include it
unconditionally in target/hexagon/op_helper.c. We used to need it
for the put_user_*() and get_user_*() functions, but now that we have
removed the uses of those from op_helper.c, the only reason it's
still there is that we're implicitly relying on it pulling in some
other headers.
Explicitly include the headers we need for other functions, and drop
the include of qemu.h.

The point of 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps' is to be a convenience for
actions that are already possible through a string of smaller
'qemu-img bitmap' sub-commands. One situation not accounted for
already is that if a source image contains an inconsistent bitmap (for
example, because a qemu process died abruptly before flushing bitmap
state), the user MUST delete those inconsistent bitmaps before
anything else useful can be done with the image.
We don't want to delete inconsistent bitmaps by default: although a
corrupt bitmap is only a loss of optimization rather than a corruption
of user-visible data, it is still nice to require the user to opt in
to the fact that they are aware of the loss of the bitmap. Still,
requiring the user to check 'qemu-img info' to see whether bitmaps are
consistent, then use 'qemu-img bitmap --remove' to remove offenders,
all before using 'qemu-img convert', is a lot more work than just
adding a knob 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps --skip-broken-bitmaps' which
opts in to skipping the broken bitmaps.
After testing the new option, also demonstrate the way to manually fix
things (either deleting bad bitmaps, or re-creating them as empty) so
that it is possible to convert without the option.

Waiting until the end of the convert operation (a potentially
time-consuming task) to finally detect that we can't copy a bitmap is
bad, comparing to failing fast up front. Furthermore, this prevents
us from leaving a file behind with a bitmap that is not marked as
inconsistent even though it does not have sane contents.
This fixes the problems exposed in the previous patch to the iotest:
it adds a fast failure up front, and even if we don't fail early, it
ensures that any bitmap we add but do not properly populate is removed
again rather than left behind incomplete.

Enhance the test to demonstrate existing less-than-stellar behavior of
qemu-img with a qcow2 image containing an inconsistent bitmap: we
don't diagnose the problem until after copying the entire image (a
potentially long time), and when we do diagnose the failure, we still
end up leaving an empty bitmap in the destination. This mess will be
cleaned up in the next patch.
While at it, rename the test now that we support useful iotest names,
and fix a missing newline in the error message thus exposed.
