This patch adds the ability to grow qcow2 images in-place using
bdrv_truncate(). This enables qemu-img resize command support for
qcow2.
Snapshots are not supported and bdrv_truncate() will return -ENOTSUP.
The notion of resizing an image with snapshots could lead to confusion:
users may expect snapshots to remain unchanged, but this is not possible
with the current qcow2 on-disk format where the header.size field is
global instead of per-snapshot. Others may expect snapshots to change
size along with the current image data. I think it is safest to not
support snapshots and perhaps add behavior later if there is a
consensus.
Backing images continue to work. If the image is now larger than its
backing image, zeroes are read when accessing beyond the end of the
backing image.
