Documentation: Warn against qemu-img on active image

People have repeatedly expected that you can do things like snapshotting
an image with qemu-img while a qemu instance is running. Maybe we need
to consider locking the files while they are in use, but having a
warning in the qemu-img manpage is doable for 1.2 and can't hurt anyway.

qemu-img allows you to create, convert and modify images offline. It can handle
all image formats supported by QEMU.
@b{Warning:} Never use qemu-img to modify images in use by a running virtual
machine or any other process; this may destroy the image. Also, be aware that
querying an image that is being modified by another process may encounter
inconsistent state.
