Eric Blake 15e39ad950 qemu-img: Add convert --bitmaps option
Make it easier to copy all the persistent bitmaps of (the top layer
of) a source image along with its guest-visible contents, by adding a
boolean flag for use with qemu-img convert.  This is basically
shorthand, as the same effect could be accomplished with a series of
'qemu-img bitmap --add' and 'qemu-img bitmap --merge -b source'
commands, or by their corresponding QMP commands.

Note that this command will fail in the same scenarios where 'qemu-img
measure' omits a 'bitmaps size:' line, namely, when either the source
or the destination lacks persistent bitmap support altogether.

While touching this, clean up a couple coding issues spotted in the
same function: an extra blank line, and merging back-to-back 'if
(!skip_create)' blocks.
