    This commit adds support for exporting filesystem into QCOW2 image
    format. Like sparse format this saves space, by writing only necessary
    (metadata blocks) into image. Unlike sparse image, QCOW2 image is NOT
    sparse, hence does not change its size by copying with not-sparse-aware
    tools.
    
    New options '-Q' has been added to tell the e2image to use QCOW2 as an
    output image format. QCOW2 supports encryption and compression, however
    e2image so far does no support such features, however you can still
    scramble filenames with '-s' option.
