The compression filter driver is introduced as suggested by Max.
A sample usage of the filter can be found in the test #214.
Now, multiple clusters can be written compressed.
It is useful for the backup job.

v10:
  01: The option 'compress' moved up in the QAPI BlockdevDriver list
      to fit its alphabetic order (noticed by Eric).
  02: bdrv_filter_default_perms assigned to .bdrv_child_perm in the
      compression filter driver interface (suggested by Max, noticed
      by Vladimir).

  Discussed in the email thread with the message ID:
