Brian Rosmaita 58311904a7 Adding constraints around qemu-img calls
* All "qemu-img info" calls are now run under resource limitations that
  limit CPU time to 2 seconds and address space usage to 1 GB. This
  helps avoid any DoS attacks via malicious images.
* All "qemu-img convert" calls now specify the import format so that it
  does not have to be inferred by qemu-img.
