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.
