[PATCH 1/2] qemu-img: Fix convert -n -B for backing-less targets

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

s.target_has_backing does not reflect whether the target BDS has a
backing file; it only tells whether we should use a backing file during
conversion (specified by -B).

As such, if you use convert -n, the target does not necessarily actually
have a backing file, and then dereferencing out_bs->backing fails here.

When converting to an existing file, we should set
target_backing_sectors to a negative value, because first, as the
comment explains, this value is only used for optimization, so it is
always fine to do that.

Second, we use this value to determine where the target must be
initialized to zeroes (overlays are initialized to zero after the end of
their backing file).  When converting to an existing file, we cannot
assume that to be true.
