This is a QMP equivalent of qemu-nbd's --share option, limiting the
maximum number of clients that can attach at the same time.

I suppose this is part of this series so that patch 11 can happen?

More like because initially I thought it would be needed for patch 11,
and when I realised that server != export and it's not really needed, I
still didn't want to throw the patch away...

I could make it a patch separate from this series if that's helpful.

Nice way to add feature parity.

Limiting the number of connections (particularly for a writable client, 
where we cannot guarantee cache consistency between the connections), 
seems like a worthwhile feature to have; I've always found it odd that 
qemu-nbd and QMP nbd-server-add defaulted to different limits (1 vs. 
unlimited).  For reference, nbdkit defaults to unlimited, and I'm happy 
if qemu-storage-daemon does likewise; but changing qemu-nbd's default of 
1 would be backwards incompatible and may cause surprises (there's 
always 'qemu-nbd -e' when needed).  I also wonder if we should change 
'qemu-nbd -e 0' to mean unlimited rather than an error (right now, 
qemu-iotests/common.rc uses -e 42 for all nbd-based tests for a saner 
limit than just 1, but it smells of being arbitrary compared to unlimited).

I think eventually the actual NBD server implementation in qemu-nbd
should go away and it should just reuse the QMP one. Changing the
default would remove one more difference between them, which can only be
helpful in this process. (Though of course having a different default is
still simple enough for a simple wrapper.)
