This converts the qcow2 driver to make use of the QCryptoBlock
APIs for encrypting image content, using the legacy QCow2 AES
scheme.
With this change it is now required to use the QCryptoSecret
object for providing passwords, instead of the current block
password APIs / interactive prompting.
$QEMU \
-object secret,id=sec0,file=/home/berrange/encrypted.pw \
-drive file=/home/berrange/encrypted.qcow2,encrypt.key-secret=sec0
The test 087 could be simplified since there is no longer a
difference in behaviour when using blockdev_add with encrypted
images for the running vs stopped CPU state.

For a couple of releases we have been warning
Encrypted images are deprecated
Support for them will be removed in a future release.
You can use 'qemu-img convert' to convert your image to an unencrypted one.
This warning was issued by system emulators, qemu-img, qemu-nbd
and qemu-io. Such a broad warning was issued because the original
intention was to rip out all the code for dealing with encryption
inside the QEMU block layer APIs.
The new block encryption framework used for the LUKS driver does
not rely on the unloved block layer API for encryption keys,
instead using the QOM 'secret' object type. It is thus no longer
appropriate to warn about encryption unconditionally.
When the qcow/qcow2 drivers are converted to use the new encryption
framework too, it will be practical to keep AES-CBC support present
for use in qemu-img, qemu-io & qemu-nbd to allow for interoperability
with older QEMU versions and liberation of data from existing encrypted
qcow2 files.
This change moves the warning out of the generic block code and
into the qcow/qcow2 drivers. Further, the warning is set to only
appear when running the system emulators, since qemu-img, qemu-io,
qemu-nbd are expected to support qcow2 encryption long term now that
the maint burden has been eliminated.

Add a simple test case for qemu-iotests that covers read/write
with encrypted qcow2 files.
