block/dirty-bitmaps: implement inconsistent bit
Set the inconsistent bit on load instead of rejecting such bitmaps. There is no way to un-set it; the only option is to delete the bitmap. Obvervations: - bitmap loading does not need to update the header for in_use bitmaps. - inconsistent bitmaps don't need to have their data loaded; they're glorified corruption sentinels. - bitmap saving does not need to save inconsistent bitmaps back to disk. - bitmap reopening DOES need to drop the readonly flag from inconsistent bitmaps to allow reopening of qcow2 files with non-qemu-owned bitmaps being eventually flushed back to disk.
