Drop vhdutil dependency, use qemu-img

Browse Source 
The vhdutil utility is completely dead; the whole subsystem it relies
on was removed with [1] so it's not even vaguely possible to keep it
up-to-date.

I took the .raw images on a nb and used the qemu-img there (so Xenial)
and generated some VPC images; uploaded them to rackspace and the all
seemed to boot fine.  If there was a problem, maybe it's been fixed on
either the qemu or RAX side in the previous few years.

Thus swith to qemu-img to generate the vhd images too.

upgrade:
- |
Generation of VHD (VPC/Microsoft Virtual PC/Rackspace) images is
now done via qemu-img, rather than the externally patched
``vhdutil`` package which is no longer maintained.
