Title:
  qemu-img backed over https fails on zero-length file

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When creating new disk with qemu-img backed by file accessed over
  HTTPS and the backing file has zero length, qemu-img fails with
  uninformative error:

          qemu-img: disk.qcow2: CURL: Error opening file:

  The error message should either be improved, or the operation on zero-
  length file should be allowed. Some other backends, as e.g. raw
  backend for regular files, seem to allow empty files.
