[PATCH 14/22] quorum: Stop marking it as a filter

[Max Reitz]

Quorum is not a filter, for example because it cannot guarantee which of
its children will serve the next request.  Thus, any of its children may
differ from the data visible to quorum's parents.

We have other filters with multiple children, but they differ in this
aspect:

- blkverify quits the whole qemu process if its children differ.  As
  such, we can always skip it when we want to skip it (as a filter node)
  by going to any of its children.  Both have the same data.

- replication generally serves requests from bs->file, so this is its
  only actually filtered child.

- Block job filters currently only have one child, but they will
  probably get more children in the future.  Still, they will always
  have only one actually filtered child.

Having "filters" as a dedicated node category only makes sense if you
can skip them by going to a one fixed child that always shows the same
data as the filter node.  Quorum cannot fulfill this, so it is not a
filter.
