Series block/export: Add infrastructure and QAPI for block exports | expand

Commit Message

The reference owned by the user/monitor that is created when adding the
export and dropped when removing it was tied to the 'exports' list in
nbd/server.c. Every block export will have a user reference, so move it
to the block export level and tie it to the 'block_exports' list in
block/export/export.c instead. This is necessary for introducing a QMP
command for removing exports.

Note that exports are present in block_exports even after the user has
requested shutdown. This is different from NBD's exports where exports
are immediately removed on a shutdown request, even if they are still in
the process of shutting down. In order to avoid that the user still
interacts with an export that is shutting down (and possibly removes it
a second time), we need to remember if the user actually still owns it.

Not sure though whether this (or the request_shutdown documentation)
should mention that request_shutdown drops the user reference.

Er, no, it shouldn’t, because it doesn’t.  Only
blk_exp_request_shutdown() does that.  Though since that’s a public
function (used by nbd/server.c), maybe it should be documented there.
