[PATCH v4 2/2] vpc: Read images exported from Azure correctly |

It was found that 'qemu-nbd' is not able to work with some disk images
exported from Azure. Looking at the 512b footer (which contains VPC
metadata):

we can see that Azure uses a different 'Creator application' --
'wa\0\0' (offset 0x1c, likely reads as 'Windows Azure') and QEMU uses this
field to determine how it can get image size. Apparently, Azure uses 'new'
method, just like Hyper-V.
Overall, it seems that only VPC and old QEMUs need to be ignored as all new
creator apps seem to have reliable current_size. Invert the logic and make
'current_size' method the default to avoid adding every new creator app to
the list.
