Vhdx support #15

The idea is to support Vhdx as an output format for cloning, so that the resulting file can be started directly within a virtual machine. The specification for the Vhdx format is available here: https://winprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net/productionwindowsarchives/MS-VHDX/%5bMS-VHDX%5d.pdf

qemu and virtualbox already support starting a virtual machine from raw block device or drive image. What would be the benefit of vhdx?

OH, that would be a nice idea!
