Wait, so client->exp->export_bitmap_context is stored WITH the "qemu:"
prefix as part of the name?

During _LIST, you are allowing a query of "qemu:" to list all
qemu-specific contexts (namely, qemu:dirty-bitmap:<export-name>); but
should we also make it work that if you do "qemu:dirty-bitmap:", you get
a list of just dirty-bitmap contexts even if "qemu:" has added other
contexts in the meantime?

nbd.git commit 218c446 documented that descriptor lengths MUST be an
integer multiple of minimum block size; as for maximum, I see no reason
why BLOCK_STATUS can't report larger extents than what NBD_CMD_READ can
do.  Do we need further doc tweaks to nbd.git?
