Instead of letting the driver allocate and return the BlockExport
object, allocate it already in blk_exp_add() and pass it. This allows us
to initialise the generic part before calling into the driver so that
the driver can just use these values instead of having to parse the
options a second time.
For symmetry, move freeing the BlockExport to blk_exp_unref().

Having a refcount makes sense for all types of block exports. It is also
a prerequisite for keeping a list of all exports at the BlockExport
level.

nbd-server-add tries to be convenient and adds two questionable
features that we don't want to share in block-export-add, even for NBD
exports:
1. When requesting a writable export of a read-only device, the export
is silently downgraded to read-only. This should be an error in the
context of block-export-add.
2. When using a BlockBackend name, unplugging the device from the guest
will automatically stop the NBD server, too. This may sometimes be
what you want, but it could also be very surprising. Let's keep
things explicit with block-export-add. If the user wants to stop the
export, they should tell us so.
Move these things into the nbd-server-add QMP command handler so that
they apply only there.

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().
