docs: Make the recommendation for the backing file name position a requirement
The current version of the qcow2 specification recommends to save the backing
file name in the end of the first cluster. It follows that the backing file
name can be saved somewhere in the image, but the first cluster, which
contradicts the current QEMU implementation.
The patch makes the backing file name required to be placed after the header
extensions in the first image cluster.
