Now that the implementation of subclusters is complete we can finally
add the necessary options to create and read images with this feature,
which we call "extended L2 entries".

Looks like we'll have to tweak this to 5.1 now (multiple spots).

Why are we skipping bit 3?  (Hmm, now I have to go find the earlier 
patch that touched the spec...)

aha - the spec documented compression bits (the spec change for those 
made 5.0, but the qcow2 implementation did not); we'll have to rebase 
depending on what lands first.  But the resolution of that merge 
conflict will result in both feature bits eventually existing here.
