(Mjt: context fixup in tests/qtest/meson.build)

monitor_qmp_dispatcher_co() runs in the iohandler AioContext that is not
polled during nested event loops. The coroutine currently reschedules
itself in the main loop's qemu_aio_context AioContext, which is polled
during nested event loops. One known problem is that QMP device-add
calls drain_call_rcu(), which temporarily drops the BQL, leading to all
sorts of havoc like other vCPU threads re-entering device emulation code
while another vCPU thread is waiting in device emulation code with
aio_poll().

Paolo Bonzini suggested running non-coroutine QMP handlers in the
iohandler AioContext. This avoids trouble with nested event loops. His
original idea was to move coroutine rescheduling to
monitor_qmp_dispatch(), but I resorted to moving it to qmp_dispatch()
because we don't know if the QMP handler needs to run in coroutine
context in monitor_qmp_dispatch(). monitor_qmp_dispatch() would have
been nicer since it's associated with the monitor implementation and not
as general as qmp_dispatch(), which is also used by qemu-ga.

A number of qemu-iotests need updated .out files because the order of
QMP events vs QMP responses has changed.

Solves Issue #1933.

The common.qemu bash functions allow tests to interact with the QMP
monitor of a QEMU process. I spent two days trying to update 141 when
the order of the test output changed, but found it would still fail
occassionally because printf() and QMP events race with synchronous QMP
communication.

I gave up and ported 141 to the existing Python API for QMP tests. The
Python API is less affected by the order in which QEMU prints output
because it does not print all QMP traffic by default.

The next commit changes the order in which QMP messages are received.
Make 141 reliable first.

By default, the timeout to receive any specified event from the QEMU VM is 60
seconds set by the python avocado test framework. Please see event_wait() and
events_wait() in python/qemu/machine/machine.py. If the matching event is not
triggered within that interval, an asyncio.TimeoutError is generated. Since the
timeout for the bits avocado test is 200 secs, we need to make event_wait()
timeout of the same value as well so that an early timeout is not triggered by
the avocado framework.

When dumping table blobs using rebuild-expected-aml.sh, table blobs from all
test variants are dumped regardless of whether there are any actual changes to
the tables or not. This creates lot of new files for various test variants that
are not part of the git repository. This is because we do not check in all table
blobs for all test variants into the repository. Only those blobs for those
variants that are different from the generic test-variant agnostic blob are
checked in.

This change makes the test smarter by checking if at all there are any changes
in the tables from the checked-in gold master blobs and take actions
accordingly.

When there are no changes:
 - No new table blobs would be written.
 - Existing table blobs will be refreshed (git diff will show no changes).
When there are changes:
 - New table blob files will be dumped.
 - Existing table blobs will be refreshed (git diff will show that the files
   changed, asl diff will show the actual changes).
When new tables are introduced:
 - Zero byte empty file blobs for new tables as instructed in the header of
   bios-tables-test.c will be regenerated to actual table blobs.

This would make analyzing changes to tables less confusing and there would
be no need to clean useless untracked files when there are no table changes.

It doesn't make sense to have two classes of flaky tests. While it may
take the constrained environment of CI to trigger failures easily it
doesn't mean they don't occasionally happen on developer machines. As
CI is the gating factor to passing there is no point developers
running the tests locally anyway unless they are trying to fix things.

In commit edac4d8a back in 2015 when we added support for
the virtual timer offset CNTVOFF_EL2, we didn't correctly update
the timer-recalculation code that figures out when the timer
interrupt is next going to change state. We got it wrong in
two ways:
 * for the 0->1 transition, we didn't notice that gt->cval + offset
   can overflow a uint64_t
 * for the 1->0 transition, we didn't notice that the transition
   might now happen before the count rolls over, if offset > count

In the former case, we end up trying to set the next interrupt
for a time in the past, which results in QEMU hanging as the
timer fires continuously.

In the latter case, we would fail to update the interrupt
status when we are supposed to.

Fix the calculations in both cases.

The test case is Alex Bennée's from the bug report, and tests
the 0->1 transition overflow case.

This tests two parallel stream jobs that will complete around the same

For me, this test hangs reliably with the originally reported bug in
blk_remove_bs(). After fixing it, it intermittently hangs for the bugs
fixed after it, missing AioContext unlocking in bdrv_graph_wrunlock()
and in stream_prepare(). The deadlocks seem to happen more frequently

bdrv_graph_wrunlock() calls aio_poll(), which may run callbacks that
have a nested event loop. Nested event loops can depend on other
iothreads making progress, so in order to allow them to make progress it
must not hold the AioContext lock of another thread while calling
aio_poll().

This introduces a @bs parameter to bdrv_graph_wrunlock() whose
AioContext is temporarily dropped (which matches bdrv_graph_wrlock()),
and a bdrv_graph_wrunlock_ctx() that can be used if the BlockDriverState
doesn't necessarily exist any more when unlocking.

This also requires a change to bdrv_schedule_unref(), which was relying
on the incorrectly taken lock. It needs to take the lock itself now.
While this is a separate bug, it can't be fixed a separate patch because
otherwise the intermediate state would either deadlock or try to release
a lock that we don't even hold.

Like replay_linux.py, reverse_debugging.py starts the vm with console
set but does not interact with it (e.g., with wait_for_console_pattern).
In this situation, the console should have a drainer attached so the
socket does not fill. replay_linux.py has a drainer, but it is missing
from reverse_debugging.py.

Per analysis in Link: this can cause the console socket/pipe to fill and
QEMU get stuck in qemu_chr_write_buffer, leading to strange test case
failures (ppc64 fails because it prints a lot to console in early bios).
Attaching a drainer prevents this.

Note, this commit does not fix bugs introduced by the commits referenced
in the first two Fixes: tags, but together those commits conspire to
irritate the problem and cause test case failure, which this commit
fixes.
