Ian Wienand a3e9e7f89e Drop vhdutil dependency, use qemu-img

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.

Raw Blame History

 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     ``vhdutil`` package which is no longer maintained.
