[BUG] Inconsistent behaviour across platforms if disk resize does not take effect

[jsliacan]

Using 1.23.1 on Linux and Windows:

1. Start with --disk-size 40 (disk size stays default 31G)
2. Stop
3. Start with --disk-size 35
   • Fails on Linux with Could not update CRC VM configuration: current disk image capacity is bigger than the requested size (42949672960 > 37580963840) even though real disk size is 31G so it wouldn't be shrinking.
   • Passes on Windows (of course, disk size stays 31G), even though 35 < 40 and shrink shouldn't be possible.

See linked test results in the description of #2115 where this happens.

@jsliacan is this still the issue?

I have to check, because the faulty behavior on Windows is corrected now, so this exact scenario wouldn't demonstrate the difference I described...
