This adds in read-only support to the VHDX image format. This supports
reads for fixed-size, and dynamic sized VHDX images.
Differencing files are still unsupported.
The image must be opened without BDRV_O_RDWR set, because we do not
yet update the headers. I.e., pass 'readonly=on' in the drive image
options from the QEMU commandline.

This is the initial block driver framework for VHDX image support
(i.e. Hyper-V image file formats), that supports opening VHDX files, and
parsing the headers.
This commit does not yet enable:
- reading
- writing
- updating the header
- differencing files (images with parents)
- log replay / dirty logs (only clean images)
This is based on Microsoft's VHDX specification:
"VHDX Format Specification v0.95", published 4/12/2012
