Make it possible to set bitmap 'frozen' without a successor.
This is needed to protect the bitmap during outgoing bitmap postcopy
migration.

I hesitate, because this now means that we have two independent bits of
state we need to update and maintain consistency with.
it was your proposal)))

"
Your new use case here sounds like Frozen to me, but it simply does not
have an anonymous successor to force it to be recognized as "frozen." We
can add a `bool protected` or `bool frozen` field to force recognition
of this status and adjust the json documentation accordingly.

I think then we'd have four recognized states:

FROZEN: Cannot be reset/deleted. Bitmap is in-use by a block job or
other internal process. Bitmap is otherwise ACTIVE.
DISABLED: Not recording any writes (by choice.)
READONLY: Not able to record any writes (by necessity.)
ACTIVE: Normal bitmap status.

Sound right?
"


I was afraid you'd say that :(

It's okay, anyway. I shouldn't let myself go so long between reviews
like this, because you catch me changing my mind. Anyway, please go
ahead with it. I don't want to delay you on something that works because
I can't make up *my* mind.

Hm, if you remember, reusing "frozen" state was strange for me too. And it's not
late to move to
1. make a new state: MIGRATION, which disallows qmp operations on bitmap
2. or just make them unnamed, so they can't be touched by qmp

anything is ok for me as well as leaving it as is. It's all little things, the core is patch 10.

"frozen" sounds like unchanged, but user will see dirty-count changing in query-block.
