quorum: Add quorum mechanism.
This patchset enables the core of the quorum mechanism. The num_children reads are compared to get the majority version and if this version exists more than threshold times the guest won't see the error at all. If a block is corrupted or if an error occurs during an IO or if the quorum cannot be established QMP events are used to report to the management. Use gnutls's SHA-256 to compare versions. --enable-quorum must be used to enable the feature.
