qcow2: fix image corruption on commit with persistent bitmap
If an image contains persistent bitmaps, we cannot use the fast path of bdrv_make_empty() to clear the image during qemu-img commit, because that will lose the clusters related to the bitmaps. Also leave a comment in qcow2_read_extensions to remind future feature additions to think about fast-path removal, since we just barely fixed the same bug for LUKS encryption. It's a pain that qemu-img has not yet been taught to manipulate, or even at a very minimum display, information about persistent bitmaps; instead, we have to use QMP commands. It's also a pain that only qeury-block and x-debug-block-dirty-bitmap-sha256 will allow bitmap introspection; but the former requires the node to be hooked to a block device, and the latter is experimental.
