block/vmdk: Change extent info type

VMDK's implementation of .bdrv_get_specific_info() returns information
about its extent files, ostensibly in the form of ImageInfo objects.
However, it does not get this information through
bdrv_query_image_info(), but fills only a select few fields with custom
information that does not always match the fields' purposes.

For example, @format, which is supposed to be a block driver name, is
filled with the extent type, e.g. SPARSE or FLAT.

In ImageInfo, @compressed shows whether the data that can be seen in the
image is stored in compressed form or not.  For example, a compressed
qcow2 image will store compressed data in its data file, but when
accessing the qcow2 node, you will see normal data.  This is not how
VMDK uses the @compressed field for its extent files: Instead, it
signifies whether accessing the extent file will yield compressed data
(which the VMDK driver then (de-)compresses).

Create a new structure to represent the extent information.  This allows
us to clarify the fields' meanings, and it clearly shows that these are
not complete ImageInfo objects.  (That is, if a user wants an extent
file's ImageInfo object, they will need to query it separately, and will
not get it from ImageInfoSpecificVmdk.extents.)

Note that this removes the last use of ['ImageInfo'] (i.e. an array of
ImageInfo objects), so the QAPI generator will no longer generate
ImageInfoList by default.  However, we use it in qemu-img.c, so we need
to create a dummy object to force the generate to create that type,
similarly to DummyForceArrays in machine.json (introduced in commit
9f08c8ec73 ("qapi: Lazy creation of array
types")).
