Michael Roth 39097daf15 qemu-ga: use key-value store to avoid recycling fd handles after restart
Hosts hold on to handles provided by guest-file-open for periods that can
span beyond the life of the qemu-ga process that issued them. Since these
are issued starting from 0 on every restart, we run the risk of issuing
duplicate handles after restarts/reboots.

As a result, users with a stale copy of these handles may end up
reading/writing corrupted data due to their existing handles effectively
being re-assigned to an unexpected file or offset.

We unfortunately do not issue handles as strings, but as integers, so a
solution such as using UUIDs can't be implemented without introducing a
new interface.

As a workaround, we fix this by implementing a persistent key-value store
that will be used to track the value of the last handle that was issued
across restarts/reboots to avoid issuing duplicates.

The store is automatically written to the same directory we currently
set via --statedir to track fsfreeze state, and so should be applicable
for stable releases where this flag is supported.

A follow-up can use this same store for handling fsfreeze state, but
that change is cosmetic and left out for now.
