The granularity has significant implications in typical cloud
deployments with network storage. The Linux kernel will sync advisory
locks to network file systems, but these backends may have different
policies and handle locks differently. For example, Netapp speaks a NFS
API but will treat advisory OFD locks for the whole file as mandatory
locks, whereas byte-range locks for the whole file will remain
advisory [0].
As it is a valid use case to prevent multiple CHV instances from
accessing the same disk but disk management software (e.g., Cinder in
OpenStack) should be able to snapshot disks while VMs are running, we
need special control over the lock granularity. Therefore, it is a valid
use case to lock the whole byte range of a disk image without
technically locking the whole file - to get the best of both worlds.
This also brings CHVs behavior in line with QEMU [1].
Whole-file locks remain a valid use case and could be supported later.
This patch only provides the necessary groundwork; making it
configurable is out of scope for now.

A major improvement to the developer experience of clippy in
Cloud Hypervisor.
1. Make `cargo clippy` just work with the same lints we use in CI
2. Simplify adding new lints

There are several copy-pasted code fragments in impl QcowFile. All of
them add L2 entry to the cache and one of them (in file_offset_write())
does also allocating new L2 entry if necessary.
Fold all these code fragments (except of one in l2_table() which does
error handling in special way) into cache_l2_cluster() method without
changing the logic.
This will make the code more compact and clean.

Consuming `&Arc<T>` as argument is almost always an antipattern as it
hides whether the callee is going to take over (shared) ownership
(by .clone()) or not. Instead, it is better to consume `&dyn T` or
`Arc<dyn T>` to be more explicit. This commit cleans up the code.
The change is very mechanic and was very easy to implement across the
code base.

Cache and batch IO requests after parsing all
items in the queue, improving performance—especially
for small block sizes—by reducing per-request overhead.
Introduced two methods in the AsyncIo trait for batch
submission, with implementation in the raw disk backend.
This method should be called during/after parsing all block IO requests
in the available queue. If the batch submission is not enabled, by
default it does the old way of submitting requests.

That feature was dropped when consolidating the UUID dependency because
somehow building the whole project worked. The CI system was happy.
However, building the block crate alone is broken. The vhdx code uses
Uuid::new_v4, which requires `v4` to be enabled.
Add the feature back.

conventions. These are leftovers missed in the previous commits.

This streamlines the code base to follow best practices for
error handling in Rust: Each error struct implements
std::error::Error (most due via thiserror::Error derive macro)
and sets its source accordingly.
This allows future work that nicely prints the error chains,
for example.
So far, the convention is that each error prints its
sub error as part of its Display::fmt() impl.

Rust has a new way of constructing other error and clippy complains if
we are still using the older way to construct error message. Thus,
migrate to the new approach suggested by the clippy.
