When creating qcow2 files with a backing store, it is important
to set an explicit format to prevent QEMU probing. The storage
backend was only doing this if it found a 'kvm-img' binary. This
is wrong because plenty of kvm-img binaries don't support an
explicit format, and plenty of 'qemu-img' binaries do support
a format. The result was that most qcow2 files were not getting
a backing store format.
This patch runs 'qemu-img -h' to check for the two support
argument formats
'-o backing_format=raw'
'-F raw'
and use whichever option it finds

how to set the backing store format
