Trivial: this array should be allocated to have ID_MAX entries always.
Otherwise if someone were to forget to expand this table, the assertion
in the id generator won't actually trigger; it will read junk data.

Multiple sub-systems in QEMU may find it useful to generate IDs
for objects that a user may reference via QMP or HMP. This patch
presents a standardized way to do it, so that automatic ID generation
follows the same rules.
This patch enforces the following rules when generating an ID:
1.) Guarantee no collisions with a user-specified ID
2.) Identify the sub-system the ID belongs to
3.) Guarantee of uniqueness
4.) Spoiling predictability, to avoid creating an assumption
of object ordering and parsing (i.e., we don't want users to think
they can guess the next ID based on prior behavior).
The scheme for this is as follows (no spaces):
# subsys D RR
Reserved char --| | | |
Subsystem String ----| | |
Unique number (64-bit) --| |
Two-digit random number ---|
For example, a generated node-name for the block sub-system may look
like this:
#block076
The caller of id_generate() is responsible for freeing the generated
node name string with g_free().

IDs have long spread beyond QemuOpts: not everything with an ID
necessarily goes through QemuOpts. Commit 9aebf3b is about such a
case: block layer names are meant to be well-formed IDs, but some of
them don't go through QemuOpts, and thus weren't checked. The commit
fixed that the straightforward way: rename the internal QemuOpts
helper id_wellformed() to qemu_opts_id_wellformed() and give it
external linkage.
Instead of using it directly in block.c, the commit adds wrapper
bdrv_is_valid_name(), probably to hide the connection to QemuOpts.
Go one logical step further: emancipate IDs from QemuOpts. Rename the
function back to id_wellformed(), and put it in another file. While
there, clean up its value to bool. Peel off the bdrv_is_valid_name()
wrapper.
[Replaced stray return 0 with return false to match bool returns used
elsewhere in id_wellformed().
