qemu-img: create: refresh options/--help (short option change)
Create helper function cmd_help() to display command-specific
help text, and use it to print --help for 'create' subcommand.
Add missing long options (eg --format) in img_create().
Recognize -B option for --backing-format, keep -F for
backward compatibility,
Reorder options for consistency.
Remove usage of missing_argument()/unrecognized_option() in
img_create().
