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.

Since we parse backing.* options to add a backing file from the command
line when the driver didn't assign one, it has been possible to have a
backing file for e.g. raw images (it just was never accessed).
This is obvious nonsense and should be rejected.

- A bonus bug fix is correct endian is used in initializing GD entries.
- ROUND_UP and DIV_ROUND_UP are used where possible.

VMware ESX hosts use a variant of the VMDK3 format, identified by the
vmfsSparse create type ad the VMFSSPARSE extent type.
It has 16 KB grain tables (L2) and a variable-size grain directory (L1).
In addition, the grain size is always 512, but that is not a problem
because it is included in the header.
The format of the extents is documented in the VMDK spec. The format
of the descriptor file is not documented precisely, but it can be
found at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/10026353 (Recreating a missing virtual
