qcow2: Add keep_data_file command-line option

Add a command-line-only option to prevent overwriting the file specified
as external data file.

This option is only available on the qemu-img create command line, not
via blockdev-create, as it makes no sense there: That interface
separates file creation and formatting, so where the external data file
attached to a newly formatted qcow2 node comes from is completely up to
the user.

Implementation detail: Enabling this option will not only not overwrite
the external data file, but also assume it already exists, for two
reasons:
- It is simpler than checking whether the file exists, and only skipping
  creating it when it does not.  It is therefore also less error-prone,
  i.e. we can never accidentally overwrite an existing file because we
  made some mistake in checking whether it exists.
- I think it makes sense from a user's perspective: You set this option
  when you want to use an existing data file, and you unset it when you
  want a new one.  Getting an error when you expect to use an existing
  data file seems to me a nice warning that something is not right.
