When creating a qcow2 image, we didn't necessarily call
qcow2_update_header(), but could end up with the basic header that
qcow2_create2() created manually. One thing that this basic header
lacks is the feature table. Let's make sure that it's always present.
This requires a few updates to test cases as well.

qcow2's report_unsupported_feature() had two bugs: A 32 bit truncation
would prevent feature table entries for bits 32-63 from being used, and
it could assign errp multiple times if there was more than one unknown
feature, resulting in an error_set() assertion failure.
Fix the truncation, make sure to set the error exactly once and add a
qemu-iotests case for it.

This adds an incompatible bit indicating corruption to qcow2. Any image
with this bit set may not be written to unless for repairing (and
subsequently clearing the bit if the repair has been successful).

Lazy refcounts is a performance optimization for qcow2 that postpones
refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty. In the
case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state
and repaired next time it is opened.
Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and
cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk
after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in
RAM). Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address
translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of
write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount
optimization.
The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough
Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

This patch adds an incompatible feature bit to mark images that have not
been closed cleanly. When a dirty image file is opened a consistency
check and repair is performed.

This new test validates the autoclear feature bit behavior. When QEMU
opens a qcow2v3 image file with an unknown autoclear feature bit the bit
should be cleared in the image file header.
