docs: qcow2: introduce compression type feature

The patch adds a new additional field to the qcow2 header: compression_type,
which specifies compression type. If field is absent or zero, default
compression type is set: ZLIB, which corresponds to current behavior.

New compression type (ZSTD) is to be added in further commit.
