    SUPPORT.md: Specify support for various image formats
    
    QEMU supports various image formats, but we only provide security
    support for raw, qcow, qcow2, and vhd formats.
    
    Rather than duplicate this information under the "x86/Emulated
    storage" section, just refer to the "Blkback" section.
