qcow2: Explicit mention of padding bytes

Although we already covered the need for padding bytes with our
changes in commit 3ae3fcfa, commit 66fcbca5 (both v5.0.0) added one
byte and relied on the rest of the text for implicitly covering 7
padding bytes. For consistency with other parts of the header (such
as the header extension format listing padding from n - m, or the
snapshot table entry listing variable padding), we might as well call
out the remaining 7 bytes as padding until such time (as any) as they
gain another meaning.

qcow2: add zstd cluster compression

zstd significantly reduces cluster compression time.
It provides better compression performance maintaining
the same level of the compression ratio in comparison with
zlib, which, at the moment, is the only compression
method available.

The performance test results:
Test compresses and decompresses qemu qcow2 image with just
installed rhel-7.6 guest.
Image cluster size: 64K. Image on disk size: 2.2G

The test was conducted with brd disk to reduce the influence
of disk subsystem to the test results.
The results is given in seconds.

compress cmd:
time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -c -o compression_type=[zlib|zstd]
src.img [zlib|zstd]_compressed.img
decompress cmd
time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2
[zlib|zstd]_compressed.img uncompressed.img

Both ZLIB and ZSTD gave the same compression ratio: 1.57

qcow2: Add incompatibility note between backing files and raw external data files

Backing files and raw external data files are mutually exclusive.
The documentation of the raw external data bit (in autoclear_features)
already indicates that, but we should also mention it on the other
side.

qcow2: List autoclear bit names in header

The feature table is supposed to advertise the name of all feature
bits that we support; however, we forgot to update the table for
autoclear bits. While at it, move the table to read-only memory in
code, and tweak the qcow2 spec to name the second autoclear bit.
Update iotests that are affected by the longer header length.

docs: qcow2: introduce compression type feature

The patch adds a new additional field to the qcow2 header: compression_type,
which specifies compression type. If field is absent or zero, default
compression type is set: ZLIB, which corresponds to current behavior.

New compression type (ZSTD) is to be added in further commit.

docs: improve qcow2 spec about extending image header

Make it more obvious how to add new fields to the version 3 header and
how to interpret them.

The specification is adjusted so that for new defined optional fields:

1. Software may support some of these optional fields and ignore the
others, which means that features may be backported to downstream
Qemu independently.
2. If we want to add incompatible field (or a field, for which some of
its values would be incompatible), it must be accompanied by
incompatible feature bit.

Also the concept of "default is zero" is clarified, as it's strange to
say that the value of the field is assumed to be zero for the software
version which don't know about the field at all and don't know how to
treat it be it zero or not.

docs/interop/qcow2: Improve bitmap flag in_use specification

We already use (we didn't notice it) IN_USE flag for marking bitmap
metadata outdated, such as AUTO flag, which mirrors enabled/disabled
bitmaps. Now we are going to support bitmap resize, so it's good to
write IN_USE meaning with more details.
