I'm guessing that what users will actually want to do is to download
and upload these images, rather than having to write them to another
part of the disk image first.  I wonder if btrfs-image can do
streaming?
It would be better to use IMAGE.

We use btrfs-image to dump image of a btrfs filesystem
for developer debug, and developer use this image with btrfs-image -r.

So I think we should expose btrfs-image to users and drop btrfs-image-restore.
