Allow a client to request a subset of negotiated meta contexts. For
example, a client may ask to use a single connection to learn about
both block status and dirty bitmaps, but where the dirty bitmap
queries only need to be performed on a subset of the disk; forcing the
server to compute that information on block status queries in the rest
of the disk is wasted effort (both at the server, and on the amount of
traffic sent over the wire to be parsed and ignored by the client).
Qemu as an NBD client never requests to use more than one meta
context, so it has no need to use block status payloads. Testing this
instead requires support from libnbd, which CAN access multiple meta
contexts in parallel from a single NBD connection; an interop test
submitted to the libnbd project at the same time as this patch
demonstrates the feature working, as well as testing some corner cases
(for example, when the payload length is longer than the export
length), although other corner cases (like passing the same id
duplicated) requires a protocol fuzzer because libnbd is not wired up
to break the protocol that badly.
This also includes tweaks to 'qemu-nbd --list' to show when a server
is advertising the capability, and to the testsuite to reflect the
addition to that output.
Of note: qemu will always advertise the new feature bit during
NBD_OPT_INFO if extended headers have alreay been negotiated
(regardless of whether any NBD_OPT_SET_META_CONTEXT negotiation has
occurred); but for NBD_OPT_GO, qemu only advertises the feature if
block status is also enabled (that is, if the client does not
negotiate any contexts, then NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS cannot be used, so
the feature is not advertised).

[eblake: fix logic to reject unnegotiated contexts]
Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
All the pieces are in place for a client to finally request extended
headers. Note that we must not request extended headers when qemu-nbd
is used to connect to the kernel module (as nbd.ko does not expect
them, but expects us to do the negotiation in userspace before handing
the socket over to the kernel), but there is no harm in all other
clients requesting them.
Extended headers are not essential to the information collected during
'qemu-nbd --list', but probing for it gives us one more piece of
information in that output. Update the iotests affected by the new
line of output.

Passing fixed-iothread=true should make iothread conflicts fatal,
whereas fixed-iothread=false should not.
Combine the second case with an error condition that is checked after
the iothread is handled, to verify that qemu does not crash if there is
such an error after changing the iothread failed.

Now permissions are updated as follows:
1. do graph modifications ignoring permissions
2. do permission update
(of course, we rollback [1] if [2] fails)
So, on stage [2] we can't say which users are "old" and which are
"new" and exist only since [1]. And current error message is a bit
outdated. Let's improve it, to make everything clean.
While being here, add also a comment and some good assertions.
iotests 283, 307, qsd-jobs outputs are updated.

We have different types of parents: block nodes, block backends and
jobs. So, it makes sense to specify type together with name.
While being here also use g_autofree.
