Make a script that converts a filesystem into a disk image #11

The disk image can just be a raw format instead of qcow2. Also, make the plugin use it instead of a generic qcow2.

Following XP principles, make a test before writing this.

Single test.py that tests everything else?
The test will run the converter and verify that a raw image is produced and that panda can run it

Evan and I (Aidan Frantz) worked on it for about 30 minutes before running into an issue in which we needed advisor feedback.

After further clarification from the client, the file can be a cpio image, and then use generic images for the qcow stuff. I'm right now researching how to load a RAM disk directly into Linux.

Evan and I have figured out how to make a cpio file from a directory, but are having a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the Qemu system started using the cpio file that we created, so the test we initially wrote was broken. We'll need to continue working on this ticket, currently, we have put a total of 4 pair-hours into it.
