Now that the implementation of subclusters is complete we can finally
add the necessary options to create and read images with this feature,
which we call "extended L2 entries".

(This requires quite a bit of a rebase, but nothing spectacularly
interesting, I think.)

Yeah I noticed, I can send v11 after the rebase.

After running basically all test combinations I usually run, I noticed
that 191 should also be modified to drop the extended_l2 option from the
qemu-img info output (down under “checking image base” and “checking
image layer”, where there are sed //D calls already).  Otherwise, it’ll
break with compat=0.10 (for no good reason).

(It needs the format-specific info because it needs to check the
encryption information, so it just manually drops everything it doesn’t
need.)
