- Change bundling of image formats
  
  By default none of the image formats were stored as compressed
  file. The reason behind this was the assumption that some
  formats automatically makes use of compression, which is true
  but only in their processing and not in their data blocks at
  creation time. Storage and handling of the image file itself
  becomes cumbersome and therefore we change the default bundle
  setup for image formats to be compressed. This means the image
  as it gets packed by KIWI needs to be uncompressed before use.
  The following image formats are affected by the change in a
  call of the result bundler:
  
  kiwi result bundle ...
  
  * qcow2 (.qcow2.xz)
  * vdi   (.vdi.xz)
  * vhd   (.vhd.xz)
  * vhdx  (.vhdx.xz)
  * vmdk  (.vmdk.xz)
    
    All other image formats already defined a custom bundling
    setup including compression and are not affected by this change.
    This Fixes #650
