virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Allow format probing under special circumstances
    
    Allow format probing to work around lazy clients which did not specify
    their format in the overlay. Format probing will be allowed only, if we
    are able to probe the image, the probing result was successful and the
    probed image does not have any backing or data file.
    
    This relaxes the restrictions which were imposed in commit 3615e8b39bad
    in cases when we know that the image probing will not result in security
    issues or data corruption.
    
    We perform the image format detection and in the case that we were able
    to probe the format and the format does not specify a backing store (or
    doesn't support backing store) we can use this format.
    
    With pre-blockdev configurations this will restore the previous
    behaviour for the images mentioned above as qemu would probe the format
    anyways. It also improves error reporting compared to the old state as
    we now report that the backing chain will be broken in case when there
    is a backing file.
    
    In blockdev configurations this ensures that libvirt will not cause data
    corruption by ending the chain prematurely without notifying the user,
    but still allows the old semantics when the users forgot to specify the
    format.
    
    Users thus don't have to re-invent when image format detection is safe
    to do.
    
    The price for this is that libvirt will need to keep the image format
    detector still current and working or replace it by invocation of
    qemu-img.
