Daan De Meyer 2dd07068a3 vmspawn: apply --grow-image= to the ephemeral copy
Combining --ephemeral with --grow-image= truncated the file passed to
--image= to the requested size before the VM was started, so a mode whose
entire purpose is to leave the original image untouched modified it on
disk.

Skip growing the original image when running ephemeral, and instead create
the qcow2 overlay with the requested virtual size, so the guest sees the
larger disk while the base image stays read-only. As only the overlay is
sized in that case, the base image format no longer matters, so allow
--grow-image= together with qcow2 images when running ephemeral. The round
up to a multiple of 4096 moves to option parsing so both paths apply the
same value.

The vmspawn drive test grows an ephemeral VM and checks that the image
passed to --image= keeps its size, and that the overlay QEMU runs off is
created at the requested one.
