66566e84b8 storage: Introduce 'extended_l2' feature for storage volume
QCOW2 images now support 'extended_l2' which splits the default clusters
into 32 subcluster allocation units. This allows the allocation units to
be smaller without increasing the size of L2 table too much and thus also
the cache requirements for holding the full L2 table in memory.

Unfortunately it's incompatible with qemu versions older than 5.2 thus
can't be used as default.

14584c665e docs: formatstorage: Convert to RST
Apart from the bulk conversion itself, the section names 'general
metadata' and 'target elements' were duplicated between the storage pool
and storage volume sections. To prevent heading name clashes they were
renamed appropriately.
