maybe it would make sense to drop the VM .tar backup restore for 5.x?
that would mean we could also remove the sparsecp binary and qmextract
script and simplify some of the restore code..

extracting the backup content manually from such old archives is easy
enough (it is just a tar archive with the config, a device map and raw
disk images IIUC?)
