We currently support virtio-blk (commonly) or IDE (unusually) for
exposing
disks to the converted guest; refer to "guestcaps.gcaps_block_bus" in
"lib/create_ovf.ml". When using virtio-blk (i.e., in the common case), RHV
can deal with at most 23 disks, as it plugs each virtio-blk device in a
separate slot on the PCI(e) root bus; and the other slots are reserved for
various purposes. When a domain has too many disks, the problem only
becomes apparent once the copying finishes and an import is attempted.
Modify the RHV outputs to fail relatively early when a domain has more
than 23 disks that need to be copied.
Notes:
- With IDE, the theoretical limit may even be as low as 4. However, in the
"Output_module.setup" function, we don't have access to
"guestcaps.gcaps_block_bus", and in practice the IDE limitation has not
caused surprises. So for now stick with 23, assuming virtio-blk.
Modifying the "Output_module.setup" parameter list just for this seems
overkill.
- We could move the new check to an even earlier step, namely
"Output_module.parse_options", due to the v2v directory deliberately
existing (and having been populated with input sockets) at that time.
However, even discounting the fact that "parse_options" is not a good
name for including this kind of step, "parse_options" does not have
access to the v2v directory name, and modifying the signature just for
this is (again) overkill.
- By adding the check to "Output_module.setup", we waste *some* effort
(namely, the conversion occurs between "parse_options" and
"setup"),
but: (a) the "rhv-disk-uuid" count check (against the disk count) is
already being done in the rhv-upload module's "setup" function, (b) in
practice the slowest step ought to be the copying, and placing the new
check in "setup" is early enough to prevent that.

v2:
- rename "bail_if_disk_count_gt" to "error_if_disk_count_gt"

v1:
This patch can be tested easily by replacing 23 with 0 in all three
affected output modules -- then the following test cases all fail in
"make check":
