Only compat= affects the version.  Lazy refcounts and dedup should be
orthogonal.

If you specify lazy_refcounts=on without compat=1.1 you get an error.

Same should apply to deduplication.  Otherwise the qemu-img create
behavior is inconsistent - you get an error for lazy_refcounts but no
error and silent version=3 for deduplication.
