Stuart McLaren fc0b47beb6 Add 'vhdx' disk format.
This patch adds the Hyper-V 'vhdx' disk format to the Glance
configuration. This allows users to upload 'vhdx' images by default.

'vhdx' disks can have much larger storage capacity than the older 'vhd'
format [1].  (Plus, anything with 'x' in the name is awesome.)

DocImpact: Docs will need to be updated to indicate that the 'vhdx'
disk_format is now one of the default disk formats supported by Glance.

UpgradeImpact: Adds 'vhdx' to the default list of disk_formats.  Operators
will no longer need to configure specifically to use 'vhdx' disks.
