[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V4 4/4] Change default to qcow2 for sync mode none.

[Ian Main]

qcow2 supports backing files so it makes sense to default to qcow2
for MIRROR_SYNC_MODE_NONE so that we can use the source as a backing
drive and export it via nbd.  Defaulting FULL and TOP to SYNC_MODE_NONE
breaks tests but that could be fixed if we wanted it.
