Currently, qemu-io only uses string-valued blockdev options (as all are
converted directly from QemuOpts) -- with one exception: -U adds the
force-share option as a boolean.  This in itself is already a bit
questionable, but a real issue is that it also assumes the value already
existing in the options QDict would be a boolean, which is wrong.

That has the following effect:

$ ./qemu-io -r -U --image-opts \
     driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off
[1]    15200 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./qemu-io -r -U
--image-opts driver=file,filename=/dev/null,force-share=off

Since @opts is converted from QemuOpts, the value must be a string, and
we have to compare it as such.  Consequently, it makes sense to also set
it as a string instead of a boolean.

The curse of poor typing in QemuOpts keeps on giving ;)
Adding Markus, so he's aware of yet another wart that his command-line cleanups may need to visit.
