Stefan Weil 9aebd98aab Add new block driver for the VDI format (only aio supported)
This is a new block driver written from scratch
to support the VDI format in QEMU.

VDI is the native format used by Innotek / SUN VirtualBox.

Latest changes:

* stripped down version
  (code for synchronous operations and experimental code removed)

* don't open VDI snapshot images (with uuid_link or uuid_parent)

* modified vdi_aio_cancel

Stuart Brady 153859be1a Use hxtool for qemu-img command list
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.

Kevin Wolf eff442662d Document changes in qemu-img interface
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.

aliguori 9230eaf679 qemu-img: adding a "-F base_fmt" option to "qemu-img create -b" (Uri Lublin)
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

Suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.

blueswir1 d2c639d6dc Synch code, help and docs
Rearrange code, help printout and docs so that they are in the same
(hopefully more logical) order for easier maintenance.

Add help and docs for undocumented options.

Reformat slightly for more consistent help output.

Add comments to encourage better synchronization in the future.
