Describe flaws in qcow/qcow2 encryption in the docs

The qemu-img.texi / qemu-doc.texi files currently describe the
qcow2/qcow2 encryption thus

  "Encryption uses the AES format which is very secure (128 bit
   keys). Use a long password (16 characters) to get maximum
   protection."

While AES is indeed a strong encryption system, the way that
QCow/QCow2 use it results in a poor/weak encryption system.
Due to the use of predictable IVs, based on the sector number
extended to 128 bits, it is vulnerable to chosen plaintext
attacks which can reveal the existence of encrypted data.

The direct use of the user passphrase as the encryption key
also leads to an inability to change the passphrase of an
image. If passphrase is ever compromised the image data will
all be vulnerable, since it cannot be re-encrypted. The admin
has to clone the image files with a new passphrase and then
use a program like shred to secure erase all the old files.

Recommend against any use of QCow/QCow2 encryption, directing
users to dm-crypt / LUKS which can meet modern cryptography
best practices.

block: remove QED .bdrv_make_empty implementation

The QED .bdrv_make_empty() implementation does nothing but return
-ENOTSUP, which causes problems in bdrv_commit().  Since the function
stub exists for QED, it is called, which then always returns an error.

The proper way to not support an optional driver function stub is to
just not implement it, so let's remove the stub.

block: remove qcow2 .bdrv_make_empty implementation

The QCOW2 .bdrv_make_empty implementation always returns 0 for success,
but does not actually do anything.

qemu-iotests: only run 071 on qcow2

The 071 test is designed for IMGFMT=qcow2 because it uses the l2_load
blkdebug event.  Its output filtering also assumes that IMGFMT is not
raw since 071.out contains "format=raw" but IMGFMT=raw would filter the
output to "format=IMGFMT".

Perhaps the test case can be rewritten to be more generic, but for now
let's document that it was only supposed to work with qcow2.

qemu 1.7.0 does not build on NetBSD

 Do not rely on int8_t (and friends) not being preprocessor
 symbols (or symbols expanding to themselves). On NetBSD (for example) the
 glue(u, SDATA_TYPE) results in u__int8_t, which is undefined. There is no way
 to stop cpp expanding inner macros, so just add the few lines explicitly and
 get rid of the magic.

i386: Add missing include file for QEMU_PACKED

Instead of packing BiosLinkerLoaderEntry, an unused global variable called
QEMU_PACKED was created (detected by smatch static code analysis).

Including qemu-common.h gets the right definition and also includes some
standard include files which now can be removed here.
