lib: Add direct support for the NBD (Network Block Device) protocol.

Browse Source 
You can now add remote NBD drives using:

 ><fs> add-drive "" format:raw protocol:nbd server:localhost

(Note that you also need to add port:NNNN if the server is running on
a non-standard port).

The corresponding qemu-nbd service can be started by doing:

 qemu-nbd disk.img -t

This commit also adds a test.
