[PATCH] Access qemu backing_file with relative pool path

[Jesse Cook <code.crashenx@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patch enables the relative backing file path support provided by
qemu-img create.

If the storage pool is not found with the specified path, check if the
file exists relative to the pool where the new image will be created by
prepending the storage pool path.
