Using the --fork option, one can make qemu-nbd fork the worker process.
The original process will exit on error of the worker or once the worker
enters the main loop.

Currently qemu-nbd allows an image filename to be passed on the
command line, but unless using the JSON format, it does not have
a way to set any options except the format eg
qemu-nbd https://127.0.0.1/images/centos7.iso
qemu-nbd /home/berrange/demo.qcow2
This adds a --image-opts arg that indicates that the positional
filename should be interpreted as a full option string, not
just a filename.
qemu-nbd --image-opts driver=https,url=https://127.0.0.1/images,sslverify=off
qemu-nbd --image-opts driver=file,filename=/home/berrange/demo.qcow2
This flag is mutually exclusive with the '-f' flag.

This modifies the qemu-nbd program so that it is possible to
request the use of TLS with the server. It simply adds a new
command line option --tls-creds which is used to provide the
ID of a QCryptoTLSCreds object previously created via the
--object command line option.
For example
qemu-nbd --object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,\
dir=/home/berrange/security/qemutls \
--tls-creds tls0 \
--exportname default
TLS requires the new style NBD protocol, so if no export name
is set (via --export-name), then we use the default NBD protocol
export name ""
TLS is only supported when using an IPv4/IPv6 socket listener.
It is not possible to use with UNIX sockets, which includes
when connecting the NBD server to a host device.

The qemu-nbd server currently always uses the old style protocol
since it never sets any export name. This is a problem because
future TLS support will require use of the new style protocol
negotiation.
This adds "--exportname NAME" / "-x NAME" arguments to qemu-nbd
which allow the user to set an explicit export name. When an
export name is set the server will always use the new style
NBD protocol.

Allow creation of user creatable object types with qemu-nbd
via a new --object command line arg. This will be used to supply
passwords and/or encryption keys to the various block driver
backends via the recently added 'secret' object type.
# printf letmein > mypasswd.txt
# qemu-nbd --object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt \

Currently the qemu-nbd program will auto-detect the format of
any disk it is given. This behaviour is known to be insecure.
For example, if qemu-nbd initially exposes a 'raw' file to an
unprivileged app, and that app runs
'qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=/etc/shadow /dev/nbd0'
then the next time the app is started, the qemu-nbd will now
detect it as a 'qcow2' file and expose /etc/shadow to the
unprivileged app.
The only way to avoid this is to explicitly tell qemu-nbd what
disk format to use on the command line, completely disabling
auto-detection. This patch adds a '-f' / '--format' arg for
this purpose, mirroring what is already available via qemu-img
and qemu commands.
qemu-nbd --format raw -p 9000 evil.img
will now always use raw, regardless of what format 'evil.img'
looks like it contains
