If we rebase an image whose backing file has compressed clusters, we
might end up wasting disk space since the copied clusters are now
uncompressed.  In order to have better control over this, let's add
"--compress" option to the "qemu-img rebase" command.

Note that this option affects only the clusters which are actually being
copied from the original backing file.  The clusters which were
uncompressed in the target image will remain so.
