Add a creation option to qcow2 for setting the refcount order of images
to be created, and respect that option's value.
This breaks some test outputs, fix them.

Add the bit width of every refcount entry to the format-specific
information.
In contrast to lazy_refcounts and the corrupt flag, this should be
always emitted, even for compat=0.10 although it does not support any
refcount width other than 16 bits. This is because if a boolean is
optional, one normally assumes it to be false when omitted; but if an
integer is not specified, it is rather difficult to guess its value.
This new field breaks some test outputs, fix them.

The real on-disk size of an image depends on things like the host
filesystem. _img_info already filters it out, use the function in 082.

Just like lazy-refcounts, this field will be present iff the qcow2
compat level is 1.1 (or probably any future revision).
As expected, this breaks some tests due to the new field present in
qemu-img info output; so fix their output accordingly.

qemu-img info should only be used directly if the format-specific
information or the name of the format is relevant (some tests explicitly
test format-specific information; test 082 uses qcow2-specific settings
to test the qemu-img interface); otherwise, tests should always use
_img_info instead.
Test 082 was touched only partially. It does test the qemu-img
interface; however, its invocations of qemu-img info are not real tests
but rather verifications, so if format-specific information is not
important for the test, there is no reason not to use _img_info. In
contrast to directly invoking qemu-img info, "qcow2" is replaced by
"IMGFMT"; but as "qcow2" is only mentioned once in test 082 (in
_supported_fmt), I consider this an improvement.

preallocation=falloc allocates disk space by posix_fallocate(),
preallocation=full allocates disk space by writing zeros to disk.
Both modes imply preallocation=metadata.

Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to
newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance.
Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad
performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are
two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then
all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.
This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW
per file.
For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we
can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only.
But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are
creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting
NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.
[Fixed up 082.out due to the new 'nocow' creation option
