Feature: Add pre-made QCOW Image

Why?: Several reasons, the first one being that many hosting providers support custom OSes using QCOW (example).

Another reason is for testing purposes as VMs can be created and destroyed very quickly.

The third reason is efficiency, pre-made QCOW images are generally faster than importing an ISO as they can skip anything that is already provided by QEMU.

What is QCOW?: https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qcow
