The filter simply utilizes snapshot-access API of underlying block
node.

In further patches we want to use it like this:

[guest]                   [NBD export]
   |                            |
   | root                       | root
   v                 file       v
[copy-before-write]<------[snapshot-access]
   |           |
   | file      | target
   v           v
[active-disk] [temp.img]

This way, NBD client will be able to read snapshotted state of active
disk, when active disk is continued to be written by guest. This is
known as "fleecing", and currently uses another scheme based on qcow2
temporary image which backing file is active-disk. New scheme comes
with benefits - see next commit.

The other possible application is exporting internal snapshots of
qcow2, like this:

[guest]          [NBD export]
   |                  |
   | root             | root
   v       file       v
[qcow2]<---------[snapshot-access]

For this, we'll need to implement snapshot-access API handlers in
qcow2 driver, and improve snapshot-access filter (and API) to make it
possibele to select snapshot by name.

Nit picking: Well, it isn’t really a filter.  I understand where you’re 
coming from, but by definition it isn’t a filter driver.

Again, I like this very much, not least because it provides a clean way 
to solve the long-standing question of how to nicely export qcow2 snapshots.

(qcow2) snapshots can have a size that differs from the image’s current 
(active layer) size.  We should accommodate for that here (I guess I’d 
be fine with a FIXME, too, but introducing FIXMEs is always not exactly 
great), I think.
