Expose the new power of virDomainBlockCopy through virsh. Continue
to use the older API where possible, for maximum compatibility.
The command now requires either --dest (with optional --format),
to directly describe the file destination, or --xml, to name a
file that contains an XML description such as:
<disk type='network'>
<driver type='raw'/>
<source protocol='gluster' name='vol1/img'>
<host name='red'/>
</source>
</disk>
Non-zero option parameters are converted into virTypedParameters,
and if anything requires the new API, the command can synthesize
appropriate XML even if the --dest option was used instead of --xml.
The existing --raw flag remains for back-compat, but the preferred
spelling is now --format=raw, since the new API now allows us
to specify all formats rather than just a boolean raw to suppress
probing.
I hope I did justice in describing the effects of granularity and
buf-size on how they get passed through to qemu.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCopy): Add new options --xml,
--granularity, --buf-size, --format. Make --raw an alias for
--format=raw. Call new API if new parameters are in use.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcopy): Document new options.
