This series adds a throttle block driver filter. Currently throttling is done
at the BlockBackend level. Using block driver interfaces we can move the
throttling to any point in the BDS graph using a throttle node which uses the
existing throttling code. This allows for potentially more complex
configurations (throttling at any point in the graph, chained filters)

v4:
  fix suggestions in block/throttle.c
  fix suggestions in block/throttle_groups.c
  add doc note in BlockDevOptionsThrottle
  
v3:
  fix style error in 'add aio_context field in ThrottleGroupMember'

v2:
  change QOM throttle group object name
  print valid ranges for uint on error
  move frees in throttle_group_obj_finalize()
  split throttle_group_{set,get}()
  add throttle_recurse_is_first_non_filter()

Manos Pitsidianakis (7):
  block: move ThrottleGroup membership to ThrottleGroupMember
  block: add aio_context field in ThrottleGroupMember
  block: tidy ThrottleGroupMember initializations
  block: convert ThrottleGroup to object with QOM
  block: add throttle block filter driver
  block: add BlockDevOptionsThrottle to QAPI
  block: add throttle block filter driver interface tests
