[PATCH v2 3/4] qemu-img: add --shallow option for qemu-img compare

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>]

Allow compare only top images of backing chains. This is useful to
compare images with same backing file or to compare incremental images
from the chain of incremental backups with "--stat" option.
