qemu-img: Make create hint at protocol options

qemu-img create allows giving just a format and "-o help" to get a list
of the options supported by that format.  Users may not realize that the
protocol level may offer even more options, which they only get to see
by specifying a filename.

This patch adds a note to hint at that fact.
