Public bug reported:
When creating new disk with qemu-img backed by file accessed over HTTPS
and the backing file has zero length, qemu-img fails with uninformative
error:
qemu-img: disk.qcow2: CURL: Error opening file:
The error message should either be improved, or the operation on zero-
length file should be allowed. Some other backends, as e.g. raw backend
for regular files, seem to allow empty files.
