We are planning to add more block export types than just NBD in the near
future (e.g. vhost-user-blk and FUSE). This series lays the ground for
this with some generic block export infrastructure and QAPI interfaces
that will allow managing all of them (for now add/remove/query).

As a side effect, qemu-storage-daemon can now map --export directly to
the block-export-add QMP command, similar to other command line options.
The built-in NBD servers also gains new options that bring it at least a
little closer to feature parity with qemu-nbd.

This series is still RFC because the patches aren't very polished
(though they also shouldn't be too bad), it's not completely clear if
more features should be moved from NBD to the BlockExport layer in this
series (or maybe even less, and the rest dealt with in a separate
series) and qemu-iotests cases for the new interfaces are still missing.
