This option was only added to allow 'null-co://' and 'null-aio://' as
filenames, its value never served any actual purpose and was ignored.
Nevertheless it was accepted as '-drive driver=null,filename=foo'.
The correct way to enable the protocol prefixes (and that without adding
a useless -drive option) is implementing .bdrv_parse_filename. This is
what this patch does.
Technically, this is an incompatible change, but the null block driver
is only used for benchmarking, testing and debugging, and an option
without effect isn't likely to be used by anyone anyway, so no bad
effects are to be expected.

Commit 093ea232 removed the ability for aio_read and aio_write
to artificially inflate the invalid statistics counters for
block devices, since it no longer flags unaligned offset or
length. Add 'aio_read -i' and 'aio_write -i' to restore
the ability, and update test 136 to use it.

Since virtio-blk implements request merging itself these days, the only
remaining users are test cases for the function. That doesn't make the
function exactly useful any more.
