Remove "growable" option from the "open" command and from the qemu-io

will make sure that no request exceeds the image size, so the only way
to keep "growable" would be to use BlockBackend if it is not given and
to directly access the BDS if it is.
qemu-io is a debugging tool, therefore removing a rarely used option
will have only a very small impact, if any. There was only one
qemu-iotest which used the option; since it is not critical, this patch
just removes it.

Do we want to ever reuse the test number that you are deleting?
Good question, I think I have talked about that with Kevin before. It
would not hurt too much if we were to accidentally reuse the test case
number, most certainly not here in upstream.
However, for all downstream versions of qemu, this might make adding the
new test 16 difficult; but certainly not impossible (if someone is
affected by this issue, he/she can just use 999 or something). So we may
want to keep in mind not to reuse number 16, but if someone does, so be it.
