[PATCH] lib: create: Allow any [[:alnum:]]+ string as a backingfmt parameter.
If you use the libguestfs tools which open disk images read-only
(eg. virt-df), with formats such as 'vdi', then you will see an error:
error: invalid value for backingformat parameter 'vdi'
This is because opening a disk image read-only will try to create a
qcow2 file with the original image as a backing file. However the
list of permitted backing formats was very restrictive
