[sheepdog] [PATCH v4 1/7] sheepdog: Add trivial backing_fmt support

Sheepdog already requires that if backing_file is present, that it be
another sheepdog image (see sd_co_create).  Meanwhile, we want to move
towards always being explicit about the backing format for other
drivers where it matters.  So for convenience, make qemu-img create -F
sheepdog work, while rejecting all other explicit formats (note that
this is only for QemuOpts usage; there is no change to the QAPI to
allow a format through -blockdev).
