Add create qcow2 support in generic nfs driver

Registered by Trump.Zhang

Currently, generic nfs driver already has a method _create_qcow2_file, but there is not any related configuration in cinder.conf to make the nfs driver to use this method.

The qcow2 format is already supported in glusterfs driver, we can do this simlar to glusterfs.

    Add create qcow2 support in generic nfs driver

[dguryanov] Why can't write code, which deals with different image formats in RemoteFSDriver? There are 4 drivers, which use it: nfs, smbfs, glusterfs and qubyte. And I'm working on a new one (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/virtuozzo-cloud-storage-support). At this moment smbfs driver has most complete implementation of image formats in my opinion. So we can take look at it and move some parts to the RemoteFSDriver and RemoteFSSnapDriver classes.
