This patch adds a 'resize' command to grow/shrink disk images. This
allows changing the size of disk images without copying to a new image
file. Currently only raw files support resize.

The option was implemented in e53dbee0, but I forgot documenting it.

This adds a rebase subcommand to qemu-img which allows to change the backing
file of an image.
In default mode, both the current and the new backing file need to exist, and
after the rebase, the COW image is guaranteed to have the same guest visible
content as before. To achieve this, old and new backing file are compared and,
if necessary, data is copied from the old backing file into the COW image.
With -u an unsafe mode is enabled that doesn't require the backing files to
exist. It merely changes the backing file reference in the COW image. This is
useful for renaming or moving the backing file. The user is responsible to make
sure that the new backing file has no changes compared to the old one, or
corruption may occur.

The old options are still supported for compatibility, but they are
inconsistent (for example create -b vs. convert -B for backing files) and
incomplete (-F only exists for create) which tends to confuse people. Remove
all references to the old options from the documentation to guide users to the
more consistent -o options.

Use hxtool to generate the 'command syntax' section of qemu-img's help
message, and the corresponding section of the texinfo documentation.
This has the side-effect of adding 'check' to this list of commands in
the texinfo documentation.
