Oh, OK - well I didn't find that to be obvious... So there is a way
using secret objects to create a qcow[2] encrypted volume?

Still Jano has NACK'd using help scraping (and posted a separate series
removing it completely).

So then the question becomes does this change "convert" into a disallow
this type of creation going forward? Do we just cause failure in
storageBackendCreateQemuImgCheckEncryption when not using LUKS or do we
let the qemu-img just be the bad guy and do nothing in our code?

Although perhaps not well named, @imgformat is fetched via
virStorageBackendQEMUImgBackingFormat which returns
QEMU_IMG_BACKING_FORMAT_OPTIONS* type enum's.
