read-write mode.

This patch also deserves a note, what will happen with
format extensions clusters. According to the current
policy, we have only transient extensions, i.e.
CBT. Cluster allocation mechanism will reuse these
clusters as they are not marked as used.
Thus we should either set format extension offset
in the header to 0 or perform any other correct
measures to properly handle this.

It should also be noted, that on any QEMU crash
appropriate format extensions are to be properly
treated. We could not make them RW until this would
not be addressed as we could easily mess up with
trashed metadata.

something like attached should be taken into the account.
Though the destiny of cluster with old
extension offset requires some thinking.

I would say that it could be marked as used on read.
Anyway, this requires at least detailed thinking.

Yes, all the clusters used by extensions are marked as unused
on loading. In further work they can be reallocated for other
purposes.
Agree that we need to set ext_off to zero.

If QEMU crashes after extensions loading there will be
zero in the ext_off field and an inappropriate dirty bitmap
will be ignored.

That should be considered as a minimal kludge.
Normally we should mark format extension cluster
as used and nullify references from the bitmaps
there.

Anyway, even if the ext_off is not zero and
bitmaps are present, bitmaps loading over
unclean image should not be performed. They should
be considered outdated.
