2015-11-12qed: Implement .bdrv_drainFam Zheng
The "need_check_timer" is used to clear the "NEED_CHECK" flag in the image header after a grace period once metadata update has finished. In compliance to the bdrv_drain semantics we should make sure it remains deleted once .bdrv_drain is called. We cannot reuse qed_need_check_timer_cb because here it doesn't satisfy the assertion. Do the "plug" and "flush" calls manually.

2015-07-02qapi: Rename 'dirty-bitmap' mode to 'incremental'John Snow
If we wish to make differential backups a feature that's easy to access, it might be pertinent to rename the "dirty-bitmap" mode to "incremental" to make it clear what /type/ of backup the dirty-bitmap is helping us perform. This is an API breaking change, but 2.4 has not yet gone live, so we have this flexibility.
