[RFC PATCH v2 24/26] qcow2: Add the 'extended_l2' option and the QCOW2_INCOMPAT_EXTL2 bit

[Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com>]

Now that the implementation of subclusters is complete we can finally
add the necessary options to create and read images with this feature,
which we call "extended L2 entries".
