qcow2: Point to amend function in check
If a reference count is not representable with the current refcount
order, the image check should point to qemu-img amend for increasing the
refcount order. However, qemu-img amend needs write access to the image
which cannot be provided if the image is marked corrupt; and the image
check will not mark the image consistent unless everything actually is
consistent.
Therefore, if an image is marked corrupt and the image check encounters
a reference count overflow, it cannot be fixed by using qemu-img amend
to increase the refcount order. Instead, one has to use qemu-img convert
to create a completely new copy of the image in this case.
Alternatively, we may want to give the user a way of manually removing
the corrupt flag, maybe through qemu-img amend, but this is not part of
this patch.
