sheepdog: support user-defined redundancy option

Sheepdog support two kinds of redundancy, full replication and erasure coding.

# create a fully replicated vdi with x copies
 -o redundancy=x (1 <= x <= SD_MAX_COPIES)

# create a erasure coded vdi with x data strips and y parity strips
 -o redundancy=x:y (x must be one of {2,4,8,16} and 1 <= y < SD_EC_MAX_STRIP)

E.g, to convert a vdi into sheepdog vdi 'test' with 8:3 erasure coding scheme

$ qemu-img convert -o redundancy=8:3 linux-0.2.img sheepdog:test
