After storing the creation options for the new image into @opts, we
fetch some things for our own information, like the backing file name,
or whether to use encryption or preallocation.

With the -n parameter, there will not be any creation options; this is
not too bad because this just means that querying a NULL @opts will
always return the default value.

However, we also use @opts for the --object options. Therefore, @opts is
not necessarily NULL if -n was specified; instead, it may contain those
options. In practice, this probably does not cause any problems because
there most likely is no object that supports any of the parameters we
query here, but this is neither something we should rely on nor does
this variable reuse make the code very nice to read.

Therefore, just use an own variable for the --object options.

Reads better with s/an own/a separate/

I certainly wouldn't mind if someone (*cough*) were to update this while
applying. O:-)
