qcow2: Metadata overlap checks

Two new functions are added; the first one checks a given range in the
image file for overlaps with metadata (main header, L1 tables, L2
tables, refcount table and blocks).

The second one should be used immediately before writing to the image
file as it calls the first function and, upon collision, marks the
image as corrupt and makes the BDS unusable, thereby preventing
further access.

Both functions take a bitmask argument specifying the structures which
should be checked for overlaps, making it possible to also check
metadata writes against colliding with other structures.
