There are several places where QEMU accidentally relies on the O_NONBLOCK state
of passed file descriptors.  Exposing O_NONBLOCK state makes it part of the QMP
API whenever getfd or fdset_add_fd are used!

Whether or not QEMU will use O_NONBLOCK is an implementation detail and should
be hidden from QMP clients.

This patch series addresses this in 3 steps:

1. Fix callers of monitor_handle_fd_param(), monitor_fdset_get_fd(), and
   monitor_get_fd() that depend on O_NONBLOCK being set.  Luckily there are
   only two instances and they are fixed in Patches 1 & 2.

2. Rename socket_set_nonblock() to qemu_set_nonblock() just like
   qemu_set_cloexec().  This makes code cleaner when working with arbitrary
   file descriptors that may not be sockets.  See Patch 3.

3. Clear O_NONBLOCK when a chardev receives file descriptors.  From now on QEMU
   can assume that passed file descriptors are in blocking mode.  Simply use
   qemu_set_nonblock(fd) if you want to enable O_NONBLOCK.  See Patch 4.

This fixes live migration with recent libvirt.  Libvirt checks if QEMU supports
file descriptor passing and, if yes, hands QEMU a socket with O_NONBLOCK set.
The migrate fd:<foo> code assumes the socket is in blocking mode.  The result
is a corrupted migration stream.  For more info on this bug, see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=923124

Note that Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> also sent a libvirt patch so
that old QEMUs work with new libvirts:

My patch series fixes the QMP API and allows old libvirts to work again with
new QEMUs.

v2:
 * Rename socket_set_nonblock() in Patch 1 to avoid code churn [eblake]
 * Avoid qemu_set_block(-1) calls that clobber errno [quintela]
