nbd: Tolerate some server non-compliance in NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS

Browse Source 
The NBD spec states that NBD_CMD_FLAG_REQ_ONE (which we currently
always use) should not reply with an extent larger than our request,
and that the server's response should be exactly one extent. Right
now, that means that if a server sends more than one extent, we treat
the server as broken, fail the block status request, and disconnect,
which prevents all further use of the block device. But while good
software should be strict in what it sends, it should be tolerant in
what it receives.

While trying to implement NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS in nbdkit, we
temporarily had a non-compliant server sending too many extents in
spite of REQ_ONE. Oddly enough, 'qemu-img convert' with qemu 3.1
failed with a somewhat useful message:
  qemu-img: Protocol error: invalid payload for NBD_REPLY_TYPE_BLOCK_STATUS

which then disappeared with commit d8b4bad8, on the grounds that an
error message flagged only at the time of coroutine teardown is
pointless, and instead we should rely on the actual failed API to
report an error - in other words, the 3.1 behavior was masking the
fact that qemu-img was not reporting an error. That has since been
fixed in the previous patch, where qemu-img convert now fails with:
  qemu-img: error while reading block status of sector 0: Invalid argument

But even that is harsh.  Since we already partially relaxed things in
commit acfd8f7a to tolerate a server that exceeds the cap (although
that change was made prior to the NBD spec actually putting a cap on
the extent length during REQ_ONE - in fact, the NBD spec change was
BECAUSE of the qemu behavior prior to that commit), it's not that much
harder to argue that we should also tolerate a server that sends too
many extents.  But at the same time, it's nice to trace when we are
being tolerant of server non-compliance, in order to help server
writers fix their implementations to be more portable (if they refer
to our traces, rather than just stderr).
