This mirror function will return all image info including
snapshots. Now Qemu have both query-image and query-block
interfaces, and qemu-img share the code for image info
retrieving with qemu emulator.

Should there be a counterpart change to qmp-commands.hx, demonstrating
the type of output expected?

Here, you use BlockImage twice,

but here, the type is named ImageInfo.

This interface is weak - it tells me a list of filenames that are in
use, but doesn't tell me which element of the array is tied to which device.

Also, this command is singular, but returns a plural listing; elsewhere,
we have used plurals (think query-commands).

I'd rather see something like:

{ 'type': 'DeviceImageInfo',
  'data': {'device': 'str', 'info': 'ImageInfo' } }
{ 'command': 'query-images', 'returns': ['DeviceImageInfo'] }

so that I can get the pairings between
 [{ 'device':'virtio0', 'info':{ 'filename':'/path1', ...} },
  { 'device':'virtio1', 'info':{ 'filename':'/path2', ...} }]
