Document behavior of compat when creating qcow2 volumes
Commit bab2eda changed the behavior for missing compat attribute, but failed to update the documentation. Before, the option was omitted from qemu-img command line and the qemu-img default was used. Now we always specify the compat value and the default is 0.10. Reported by Christophe Fergeau https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746660#c4 (cherry picked from commit 7c8ae42d495d683f79ae4baf024f29f089eaa573)
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
