Remove "growable" option from the "open" command and from the qemu-io
command line. qemu-io is about to be converted to BlockBackend which
will make sure that no request exceeds the image size, so the only way
to keep "growable" would be to use BlockBackend if it is not given and
to directly access the BDS if it is.
qemu-io is a debugging tool, therefore removing a rarely used option
will have only a very small impact, if any. There was only one
qemu-iotest which used the option; since it is not critical, this patch
just removes it.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@savannah.nongnu.org.
