vpc: Read images exported from Azure correctly
It was found that 'qemu-nbd' is not able to work with some disk images exported from Azure. Looking at the 512b footer (which contains VPC metadata): 00000000 63 6f 6e 65 63 74 69 78 00 00 00 02 00 01 00 00 |conectix........| 00000010 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 2e c7 9b 96 77 61 00 00 |............wa..| 00000020 00 07 00 00 57 69 32 6b 00 00 00 01 40 00 00 00 |....Wi2k....@...| 00000030 00 00 00 01 40 00 00 00 28 a2 10 3f 00 00 00 02 |....@...(..?....| 00000040 ff ff e7 47 8c 54 df 94 bd 35 71 4c 94 5f e5 44 |...G.T...5qL._.D| 00000050 44 53 92 1a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |DS..............| 00000060 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| we can see that Azure uses a different 'Creator application' -- 'wa\0\0' (offset 0x1c, likely reads as 'Windows Azure') and QEMU uses this field to determine how it can get image size. Apparently, Azure uses 'new' method, just like Hyper-V. Overall, it seems that only VPC and old QEMUs need to be ignored as all new creator apps seem to have reliable current_size. Invert the logic and make 'current_size' method the default to avoid adding every new creator app to the list.
