As of QEMU 2.9, qemu-img has enforced using the "key-secret" for
creation of encrypted volumes. That is, LUKS encryption is now
required and the old (awful) qcow[2] encryption methodolgy is
no longer supported.

In order to check for this, we scan the qemu-img -o help options
looking for "key-secret" and if set, we enforce during the create
volume processing that the about to be encrypted volume doesn't
attempt to use the old crufty encryption mechanism.

adding more -help output scraping just for a nicer error message for a
feature noone should be using in the first place is not worth it.
