Docs: add QCOW2 format support for `iso_url`

Took some digging to realize that `iso_url` can actually take in a qcow2 or img format. This is fantastic and works great out of the box. I feel like adding the extra 2 lines of docs will help future users looking for this.

- `iso_url` (string) - A URL to the ISO containing the installation image.
This URL can be either an HTTP URL or a file URL (or path to a file). If
this is an HTTP URL, Packer will download it and cache it between runs.
This can also be a URL to an IMG or QCOW2 file, in which case QEMU will
boot directly from it. When passing a path to an IMG or QCOW2 file, you
should set `disk_image` to "true".
- `ssh_username` (string) - The username to use to SSH into the machine once
the OS is installed.
