qemu-nbd: print error messages from the daemon through a pipe

In order to get nice error messages, keep the qemu-nbd process running
until before issuing NBD_DO_IT and connected to the daemon with a pipe.
This lets the qemu-nbd process relay error messages from the daemon and
exit with a nonzero status if appropriate.
