    virt: introduce model for describing local image metadata

    It is not sufficient to just pass a filename into the
    libguestfs APIs. There needs to be various pieces of
    metadata passed in order to support network based images.
    This introduces a simple data model to describe images
    when passing info from virt drivers to the VFS APIs.

    These classes are only intended to contain identifying
    attributes for the various storage backends used as
    images. They are not intended to hold any functional
    logic, as that will remain in the libvirt driver private
    image backend classes. This separates generic description
    of storage backends, from driver specific implementation
    details.
