qemu-img convert: Deprecate using -n and -o together
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
bdrv_create options specified with -o have no effect when skipping image
creation with -n, so this doesn't make sense. Warn against the misuse
and deprecate the combination so we can make it a hard error later.

@subsection qemu-img convert -n -o (since 4.2.0)

All options specified in @option{-o} are image creation options, so
they have no effect when used with @option{-n} to skip image creation.
Silently ignored options can be confusing, so this combination of
options will be made an error in future versions.
