I'm not too happy about making this part of ImageInfoSpecificQCow2.
Two reasons for this: First, it's eventually part of ImageInfo, which
is defined as "Information about a QEMU image file", but this option
cannot be set in the image file itself but is only a run-time option.
That's a valid point. Now that I think of it, do we actually have a way
to retrieve the sizes of the L2 and refcount caches? I think cache-size,
l2-cache-size, and refcount-cache-size are already write-only values.

No, in fact we don't. Well, except for if you manage to retrieve the JSON filename for the qcow2 BDS, it should be part of that. :-P
