tools: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).
Sys::Guestfs::Lib is changed in two ways: firstly we take the format string from libvirt and pass it to add_drive_opts. Secondly we allow an extra format => parameter to open_guest which allows the format to be specified for disk images. All the tools are changed to add an extra --format parameter allowing the format to be specified for direct disk images.
