qemu-img: introduce --target-image-opts for 'convert' command
The '--image-opts' flag indicates whether the source filename includes options. The target filename has to remain in the plain filename format though, since it needs to be passed to bdrv_create(). When using --skip-create though, it would be possible to use image-opts syntax. This adds --target-image-opts to indicate that the target filename includes options. Currently this mandates use of the --skip-create flag too. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
