block/dirty-bitmaps: implement inconsistent bit
Set the inconsistent bit on load instead of rejecting such bitmaps.
There is no way to un-set it; the only option is to delete the bitmap.
Obvervations:
- bitmap loading does not need to update the header for in_use bitmaps.
- inconsistent bitmaps don't need to have their data loaded; they're
glorified corruption sentinels.
- bitmap saving does not need to save inconsistent bitmaps back to disk.
- bitmap reopening DOES need to drop the readonly flag from inconsistent
bitmaps to allow reopening of qcow2 files with non-qemu-owned bitmaps
being eventually flushed back to disk.
