block: Introduce op_blockers to BlockDriverState

BlockDriverState.op_blockers is an array of lists with BLOCK_OP_TYPE_MAX
elements. Each list is a list of blockers of an operation type
(BlockOpType), that marks this BDS as currently blocked for a certain
type of operation with reason errors stored in the list. The rule of
usage is:

 * BDS user who wants to take an operation should check if there's any
   blocker of the type with bdrv_op_is_blocked().

 * BDS user who wants to block certain types of operation, should call
   bdrv_op_block (or bdrv_op_block_all to block all types of operations,
   which is similar to the existing bdrv_set_in_use()).

 * A blocker is only referenced by op_blockers, so the lifecycle is
   managed by caller, and shouldn't be lost until unblock, so typically
   a caller does these:

   - Allocate a blocker with error_setg or similar, call bdrv_op_block()
     to block some operations.
   - Hold the blocker, do his job.
   - Unblock operations that it blocked, with the same reason pointer
     passed to bdrv_op_unblock().
   - Release the blocker with error_free().
