Subject: [PATCH] PVE: add savevm-async for background state snapshots

Put qemu_savevm_state_{header,setup} into the main loop and the rest
of the iteration into a coroutine. The former need to lock the
iothread (and we can't unlock it in the coroutine), and the latter
can't deal with being in a separate thread, so a coroutine it must
be.

Truncate output file at 1024 boundary.

Do not block the VM and save the state on aborting a snapshot, as the
snapshot will be invalid anyway.

Also, when aborting, wait for the target file to be closed, otherwise a
client might run into race-conditions when trying to remove the file
still opened by QEMU.
