[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup-qemu 3/4] add state serializing and loading functions

[Stefan Reiter <s.reiter@proxmox.com>]

For dirty-bitmap migration, QEMU also needs to move the static state of
the library to the target. proxmox_{import,export}_state provide a means
of accessing said data in a serialized fashion.

QEMU treats the state as some unknown quantity of bytes and the result
does not need to be human-readable, so we encode it with 'bincode',
which is based on serde.

Since the quantity is only known *after* serialization, we have to
allocate the buffer ourselves. This is handled by Box::leak-ing a Rust
allocated buffer and cleaning up via the explicit
proxmox_free_state_buf function.

I'm not sure we use 'bincode' anywhere else, but it is packaged for debian
already and seemed like a good fit. Alternatively, we could of course use our
already existing dependency on serde_json and just serialize to a JSON string.
