[PATCH v3 12/16] block/export: Add option to allow export of inactive nodes

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Add an option in BlockExportOptions to allow creating an export on an
inactive node without activating the node. This mode needs to be
explicitly supported by the export type (so that it doesn't perform any
operations that are forbidden for inactive nodes), so this patch alone
doesn't allow this option to be successfully used yet.
