[libvirt] [PATCH] rbd: Use RBD format 2 by default when creating images.

We used to look at the librbd code version and depending on that we would invoke rbd_create3() or rbd_create(). Since librbd version 0.67.9 we can however tell RBD that it should create rbd format 2 images even if we invoke rbd_create(). The less options we pass to librbd, the more we can lean on the sane defaults it uses. For rbd_create3() we had things like the stripe count and unit hardcoded in libvirt and that might cause problems down the road.
