Right, thanks.

Otherwise, some users might accidentally try to "restore" the qcow2 image created by some other tool and corrupt their filesystem.

I'll check for the encryption and compression in qcow2_write_raw_image()
so it can return an corresponding error code (QCOW_COMPRESSED,
QCOW_ENCRYPTED).
