Much nicer than v1!

Corner case:
Previously:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=/dev/null, xyz 1M
creates xyz with a backing file of /dev/null and unspecified backing
format (and ignores the empty trailing option).
Now:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=/dev/null, \
-o backing_fmt=qcow2 xyz 1M
creates xyz with a backing file of '/dev/null,backing_fmt=qcow2' and
with an unspecified backing format (and NOT with a backing format of
qcow2). Yikes! What we thought was an empty trailing option instead
got turned into a literal comma in the backing_file option.
Maybe you should add a followup patch that errors out on trailing
commas, so that we don't end up creating ',,' in the concatenated
version. And maybe patch get_opt_value() to detect and reject empty
trailing options as well.
But as this patch is already a strict improvement, it does not have to
be done in this commit.
