add qemu-img convert -n option (skip target volume creation)

Add a -n option to skip volume creation on qemu-img convert.
This is useful for targets such as rbd / ceph, where the
target volume may already exist; we cannot always rely on
qemu-img convert to create the image, as dependent on the
output format, there may be parameters which are not possible
to specify through the qemu-img convert command line.
