Use hxtool to generate the 'command syntax' section of qemu-img's help
message, and the corresponding section of the texinfo documentation.
This has the side-effect of adding 'check' to this list of commands in
the texinfo documentation.

Update the documentation to reflect the introduction of format specific options
with -o. Don't advertise -e or -6 any more, they exist only for compatibility
reasons and can be replaced by the corresponding -o options.

This patch adds a small help text to each of the options in the block drivers

This is part two of the qemu-img conversion. This really works the same as the
previous conversion of qemu-img create: It introduces a new -o option for the
generic approach and adds the old-style options to this option set.

This patch changes qemu-img to actually use the new bdrv_create interface. It
translates the old-style qemu-img options which have been bdrv_create2
parameters or flags so far to option structures. As the generic approach, it
introduces an -o option which accepts any parameter the driver knows.

Now we can make use of the newly introduced option structures. Instead of
having bdrv_create carry more and more parameters (which are format specific in
most cases), just pass a option structure as defined by the driver itself.
bdrv_create2() contains an emulation of the old interface to simplify the
transition.

This patch allows the use a host_device as the destination for "qemu-img
convert".
I added a ->bdrv_create function host_device. It merely verifies that
the device exists and is large enough.
A check is needed in the qemu-img convert loop to ensure that we write
out all 0 sectors to the host_device. Otherwise they end up with stale
garbage where all zero sectors were expected.
I also made the check against bdrv_is_allocated enabled for everything
_except_ host devices, since there is no point in making the block
backend write a bunch of zeros just so that we can memcmp them
immediately afterwards. Host devices can't benefit from this because
there is no way to differentiate between a sector being unallocated
because it was never written, or because it was written with all zeros
and then made a trip through qemu-img convert.
Finally, there is an unrelated fix for a typo in the error message
printed if the destination device does not support ->bdrv_create.

If the user specifies the backing file format,
then when opening the backing file, there is no need
to probe the (backing file) image to figure out its format.
This follows my previous patches implementing bdrv_create2
which keeps (for qcow2 only) the backing file format
as a qcow2-extension

[ Note that this patch comes with a workaround to include qemu-common.h
