Well, the goal here is to have something actually usable by management
tools and an in-flux format wouldn't help that.
But yeah, we should agree on enough of the basic details of the format
to allow a format version to be exposed.

Well, if "info capabilities" isn't implemented, simply having it fail is
fine.
That's a bit different from e.g. libvirt launching qemu with
cache=writethrough, detecting that qemu doesn't support that and
relaunching without it.
