Block drivers can be selected by either protocol syntax:

  <protocol>:<filename>[:options]

or explicitly:

  driver=<driver>[,option=<opt1>...]

For the protocol syntax to work, drivers should set the protocol_name
field of the BlockDriver structure and provide bdrv_file_open and
bdrv_parse_filename implementations.

Conversely, block drivers that do not support the protocol syntax
should instead implement bdrv_open and not have a protocol_name field.

Some drivers do not currently adhere to this and errors arise when
trying to select them using the protocol syntax. For instance:

  $ qemu-img info replication:foo
  qemu-img: block.c:2401: bdrv_open_inherit: \
  Assertion `!!(flags & BDRV_O_PROTOCOL) == !!drv->bdrv_file_open' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

This patch-set ensures that the following drivers are meeting the
above criteria:
- blkreplay
- quorum
- replication
- throttle

Aside from that, documentation was added to make the above more
explicit.

v1 -> v2:
 - patch 1: updated commit message
 - patch 5: improved protocol_name documentation
