clonehd on VMDK snapshot leaves Parent UUID non-zero => fixed in SVN

Description
Create a VMDK file. Use it in VBox and snapshot it a few times. Use Clone HD on the latest snapshot to create a VDI file. Look at Parent UUID field in header. Its non-zero.
This stops CloneVDI from being used and thus being able to expand the hard disk size.
This limits the oppourtunities for VMWare users to move to VBox.

You're right, this is a genuine, pretty long-standing bug, and it affects all image formats, not just VMDK. I like bugfixing by deleting code.
While looking at this code I spotted another bug which no one noticed so far.
Will be fixed in all applicable upcoming releases (new major versions or maintenance versions).
