I'm not sure the code above this point is backwards compatible
with v2.
The code does 'saferead(.... sizeof(*header))', which will be
over-reading data if the file was saved with v2.....

...and this check will be validating whatever random data
followed the header in old libvirt save images. We must
only validate 'features' for v3 images.
Can simplify:
if ((header & ~(QEMU_SAVE_FEATURE_MAPPED_RAM)) != 0)
and make the code patter future proof by ancitipating:
if ((header & ~(QEMU_SAVE_FEATURE_MAPPED_RAM |
QEMU_SAVE_FEATURE_BLAH)) != 0)

This will make *all* save images incompatible with old libvirt,
even if they're not using mapped ram. This feels sub-optimal
to me. I figure we should use v2, unless the new header
files are non-zero
Perhaps just don't change this version until the next patch

Some features might be possible to restore from, even if the current
impl doesn't know about it.
In qcow2 they added "compatible features" and "incompatible featurs"
fields to reflect that some are backwards compatible. So how about
we do the same here with two 32-bit uints.
