This is secretly V4ish of a series I started in response to Thomas Huth's encountering a failure in qemu-img because of missing zstd support. This series changes the qemu_img() function in iotests.py to one that raises an Exception on non-zero return code by default. Alongside this, the Exception object itself is also augmented so that it prints the stdout/stderr logs to screen if the exception goes unhandled so that failure cases are very obvious and easy to spot in the middle of python tracebacks. (Test this out yourself: Disable zstd support and then run qcow2 iotest 065 before and after this patchset. It makes a real difference!) NOTE: I have another 13-ish patches that go the rest of the way and ensure that *every* call to qemu-img goes through this new qemu_img() function, but for the sake of doing the most good in the shortest amount of time, I am sending just the first 5 patches, and the rest will be sent later. I think this is a very good series to get in before freeze so that we have it during the heavy testing season.
