Parallels format driver:
* make some preparation
* add dirty bitmap saving
* make dirty bitmap RW
* fix broken checks
* refactor leak check
* add parallels format support to several tests

Alexander left the team, so v6 comes from me. v5 was:

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240311181850.73013-1-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com/

It does not apply to master, it goes on top of "[PATCH 0/8] parallels:
fix Format Extension parsing", which applies to commit 3e3ccab106f8
("Update version for v11.1.0-rc3 release"):

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20260811173857.396571-1-den@openvz.org/

v6:
Reworked, so the numbers have shifted.
2: Made it .bdrv_inactivate and armed the in use flag on activation.
3: New patch, inactivating a read-only node.
5: cluster_end is uint64_t.
6: Absorbed the mark_unused helper, fixed the used bitmap growth.
7: New patch, the check no longer dies on what it is meant to report.
9: Absorbed the three parallels_check_leak() patches and the truncation.
10: Dropped the redundant bdrv_pwrite_zeroes() of the reuse branch.
11: Refuse a bitmap which does not fit, report a lost one, added ext_end.
12: Absorbed "Make a loaded dirty bitmap persistent", drop a broken one.
13: Bound the search by the region rather than by the cluster.
14: New patch, the Format Extension against the leak check.
15: Skipped test_reopen_rw, the bitmap name is a UUID.
16: New patch, a bitmap L1 entry has to point inside the data area.
17: Mark the bitmaps inconsistent instead of skipping the load.
18: New patch, block-dirty-bitmap-remove reaches the image.
19: New patch, qemu-img info reports the bitmaps.
20: New patch, renames parallels-read-bitmap to parallels-bitmap.
21: New patch, covers storing a bitmap.
22: New patch, covers the qemu-img bitmap sub-commands.
23: New patch, covers a broken Format Extension and a combined repair.
25: Added a comment about the bitmap name.
Dropped "Preserve extensions cluster for non-transient extensions" and
"Reverse a conditional in parallels_check_leak()".
