- Avoid a table rather than introducing many items - Mention that scratch space is used as a note, and mention its most painful repercussions. This is probably considered user documentation, and I expect most users won't mind that scratch space is used, so perhaps we can devote slightly less attention to when & why it's used.

Reduces code duplication Signed-off-by: Maya Rashish <mrashish@redhat.com>
This also makes the VDI signature longer. It's pretty long, and we previously only checked the "<<< " parts. This makes us more picky about what's a VDI image, and also makes the magic string meaningful. Signed-off-by: Maya Rashish <mrashish@redhat.com>

What this PR does / why we need it:
Sometimes images are only available in these formats as file, e.g. Microsoft only offers these formats for Windows VMs.
qemu-img supports them already, we just need to allow it & test it.
It's also a lot simpler to export a file and import it than a warm import from VMware.
