Adding a lookup table for the powers of two, with the appropriate size
prefixes. This is needed when a size has to be stringified, in which
case something like '(1 * KiB)' would become a literal '(1 * (1L << 10))'
string. Powers of two are used very often for sizes, so such a table
will also make it easier and more intuitive to write them.

This table is generatred using the following AWK script:

BEGIN {
	suffix="KMGTPE";
	for(i=10; i<64; i++) {
		val=2**i;
		s=substr(suffix, int(i/10), 1);
		n=2**(i%10);
		pad=21-int(log(n)/log(10));
		printf("#define S_%d%siB %*d\n", n, s, pad, val);
	}
}

Would it be better to provide a generic util function that takes an 
arbitrary runtime value and converts it to a human-readable form?

These look redundant with the earlier macros while still being limited 
to compile-time situations, whereas a human-readable converter form will 
be useful not only for printing compile-time constants, but also 
beneficial for arbitrary user-provided values.

The problem is that the srtingification happens at compile time, and the 
literal string is written to qcow2.o (the default value). From here 
comes the need for this table. And the added benefit of it are more 
concise size notations for power-of-two sizes.
