As of commit dc523cd348c47372faa7271c9aab2030f94c290d, passing an unkown
option name for image creation no longer results in that option's name
printed. This affects iotest 061's output, fix it.

I think I would prefer a patch that primarily fixes the error message (I
would consider the recent change that removed the name of the unknown
option a usability regression that the test caught) and then changes the
test only as a byproduct.

Markus, throwing away the original error message like commit dc523cd3
does is almost always wrong. It's the callee that knows what exactly the
problem is; the caller may add context, but it rarely knows the details
better.

I know, but I occasionally screw one up anyway.  Fix sent: "[PATCH 0/2]
Unbreak qemu-img error messages and iotests".
