qemu-nbd: initialize main loop before block layer

qemu-nbd was broken because they initialized the block layer while
qemu_aio_context was still NULL.

nbd: add notification for closing an NBDExport

In order to exit cleanly from qemu-nbd, add a callback that triggers

main loop.

qemu-nbd: rewrite termination conditions to use a state machine

Use a simple state machine with the following states:

- RUNNING => accepting connections
- TERMINATE => main loop must call nbd_export_close/put, and not accept
connections anymore
- TERMINATING => waiting for pending requests to finish...

nbd: add reference counting to NBDExport

We will use a similar two-phase destruction for NBDExport, so we need

do not chdir(/) in qemu-nbd before opening all files

When qemu-nbd becomes a daemon it calls daemon(3) with

For some reason nbd_client_thread() has a do..while loop which can never

qemu-nbd: move client handling to nbd.c

This patch sets up the fd handler in nbd.c instead of qemu-nbd.c. It
introduces NBDClient, which wraps the arguments to nbd_trip in a single
structure, so that we can add a notifier to it. This way, qemu-nbd can
know about disconnections....

qemu-nbd: trap SIGTERM

The client process right now uses SIGTERM to interrupt the server side.
This does not affect the exit status of "qemu-nbd -v -c" because the
server is a child process. This will change when both sides will be
in the same process, and anyway cleaning up things nicely upon SIGTERM...

This avoids that qemu-nbd uses both forking and threads, which do
