add support for cloned boot disk instead of backed #42

Closed csmart closed 3 years ago

csmart commented 3 years ago

By default the boot disk is created using the specified distro disk image as a backing file.

This commits add a new boolean disk option, clone which will copy the source distro disk to be used as the boot disk image instead.

Due to the way that convert and create subcommands from qemu-img work, the size of the boot disk is now done as a separate step.

Additional disks are also now done as a separate step.

This commit should also pave the way for using RAW disk images instead of qcow2, as they do not support backing files.
