Currently Qemu can read from posix I/O and NBD. This patch adds a
third protocol to the game: HTTP.
In certain situations it can be useful to access HTTP data directly,
for example if you want to try out an http provided OS image, but
don't know if you want to download it yet.
Using this patch you can now try it on on the fly. Just use it like:
qemu -cdrom http://host/path/my.iso

Add an option to specify the cluster size of a newly created qcow2 image.
Default is 4k which is the same value that was hard-coded before.

Now we can make use of the newly introduced option structures. Instead of
having bdrv_create carry more and more parameters (which are format specific in
most cases), just pass a option structure as defined by the driver itself.
bdrv_create2() contains an emulation of the old interface to simplify the
transition.
