block: vhdx header for the QEMU support of VHDX images
This is based on Microsoft's VHDX specification: "VHDX Format Specification v0.95", published 4/12/2012 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29681 These structures define the various header, metadata, and other block structures defined in the VHDX specification.
