Some HTTP servers and WAFs (e.g. Amazon CloudFront) reject
requests without a User-Agent header with 403 Forbidden. This
makes qemu-img info and other curl-based operations fail on
such URLs without any obvious indication of the root cause.
Set a "QEMU/<version>" User-Agent string on all curl handles
to ensure compatibility with these endpoints.
