Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtcloud/issues/236

After latest changes, when creating new disk image, it states that it will be created with .img extension but it creates disk with .qcow2 extension.

From my point ow view .qcow2 is more adequate especially if image is really in that format but creation window gives wrong message. Maybe extension should reflect chosen type and .img will be used then for raw disk only .qcow2 for qcow2 type etc.
