qemu-io: prompt for encryption keys when required
The qemu-io tool does not check if the image is encrypted so historically would silently corrupt the sectors by writing plain text data into them instead of cipher text. The earlier commit turns this mistake into a fatal abort, so check for encryption and prompt for key when required. This enables us to add unit tests to ensure we don't break the ability of qemu-img to convert existing encrypted qcow2 files into a non-encrypted format. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
