I was attempting to test this but couldn't work out the full command
line to use it (with qemu-img).  I got as far as:

$ ./qemu-img convert -p 'json:{ "file.driver": "ssh", "file.host": "devr7", 
"file.path": "/var/tmp/root", "file.password-secret": "..." }' /var/tmp/root

I guess the secret should be specified using --object, but at that
point I gave up.

Could do with documentation, even if merely in the commit message or a
blog post.
