block-export-add type=fuse allows mounting block graph nodes via FUSE on
some existing regular file. That file should then appears like a raw
disk image, and accesses to it result in accesses to the exported BDS.
Right now, we only implement the necessary block export functions to set
it up and shut it down. We do not implement any access functions, so
accessing the mount point only results in errors. This will be
addressed by a followup patch.
We keep a hash table of exported mount points, because we want to be
able to detect when users try to use a mount point twice. This is
because we invoke stat() to check whether the given mount point is a
regular file, but if that file is served by ourselves (because it is
already used as a mount point), then this stat() would have to be served
by ourselves, too, which is impossible to do while we (as the caller)
are waiting for it to settle. Therefore, keep track of mount point
paths to at least catch the most obvious instances of that problem.

The --enable/disable-vhost-user-blk-server options were implemented in
./configure. There has been confusion about them and part of the problem
is that the shell syntax used for setting the default value is not easy
to read. Move the option over to meson where the conditions are easier
to understand:
have_vhost_user_blk_server = (targetos == 'linux')
if get_option('vhost_user_blk_server').enabled()
if targetos != 'linux'
error('vhost_user_blk_server requires linux')
endif
elif get_option('vhost_user_blk_server').disabled() or not have_system
have_vhost_user_blk_server = false
endif
This patch does not change behavior.

Make it possible to compile out the vhost-user-blk server. It is enabled
by default on Linux.
Note that vhost-user-server.c depends on libvhost-user, which requires
CONFIG_LINUX. The CONFIG_VHOST_USER dependency was erroneous since that
option controls vhost-user frontends (previously known as "master") and
not device backends (previously known as "slave").

Block exports are used by softmmu, qemu-storage-daemon, and qemu-nbd.
They are not used by other programs and are not otherwise needed in
libblock.
Undo the recent move of blockdev-nbd.c from blockdev_ss into block_ss.
Since bdrv_close_all() (libblock) calls blk_exp_close_all()
(libblockdev) a stub function is required..
Make qemu-nbd.c use signal handling utility functions instead of
duplicating the code. This helps because os-posix.c is in libblockdev
and it depends on a qemu_system_killed() symbol that qemu-nbd.c lacks.
Once we use the signal handling utility functions we also end up
providing the necessary symbol.

Don't compile contrib/libvhost-user/libvhost-user.c again. Instead build
the static library once and then reuse it throughout QEMU.
Also switch from CONFIG_LINUX to CONFIG_VHOST_USER, which is what the
vhost-user tools (vhost-user-gpu, etc) do.

Use the new QAPI block exports API instead of defining our own QOM
objects.
This is a large change because the lifecycle of VuBlockDev needs to
follow BlockExportDriver. QOM properties are replaced by QAPI options
objects.
VuBlockDev is renamed VuBlkExport and contains a BlockExport field.
Several fields can be dropped since BlockExport already has equivalents.
The file names and meson build integration will be adjusted in a future
patch. libvhost-user should probably be built as a static library that
is linked into QEMU instead of as a .c file that results in duplicate
compilation.
The new command-line syntax is:
$ qemu-storage-daemon \
--blockdev file,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img \
--export vhost-user-blk,node-name=drive0,id=export0,unix-socket=/tmp/vhost-user-blk.sock
Note that unix-socket is optional because we may wish to accept chardevs
too in the future.
Markus noted that supported address families are not explicit in the
QAPI schema. It is unlikely that support for more address families will
be added since file descriptor passing is required and few address
families support it. If a new address family needs to be added, then the
QAPI 'features' syntax can be used to advertize them.

We want to have a common set of commands for all types of block exports.
Currently, this is only NBD, but we're going to add more types.
This patch adds the basic BlockExport and BlockExportDriver structs and
a QMP command block-export-add that creates a new export based on the
given BlockExportOptions.
qmp_nbd_server_add() becomes a wrapper around qmp_block_export_add().
