Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy bca5a8f462 spec: add qcow2 bitmaps extension specification
The new feature for qcow2: storing bitmaps.

This patch adds new header extension to qcow2 - Bitmaps Extension. It
provides an ability to store virtual disk related bitmaps in a qcow2
image. For now there is only one type of such bitmaps: Dirty Tracking
Bitmap, which just tracks virtual disk changes from some moment.

Note: Only bitmaps, relative to the virtual disk, stored in qcow2 file,
should be stored in this qcow2 file. The size of each bitmap
(considering its granularity) is equal to virtual disk size.
