[PATCH v3 13/16] qcow2: Repair snapshot table with too many entries

[Max Reitz]

The user cannot choose which snapshots are removed.  This is fine
because we have chosen the maximum snapshot table size to be so large
(65536 entries) that it cannot be reasonably reached.  If the snapshot
table exceeds this size, the image has probably been corrupted in some
way; in this case, it is most important to just make the image usable
such that the user can copy off at least the active layer.
(Also note that the snapshots will be removed only with "-r all", so a
plain "check" or "check -r leaks" will not delete any data.)
