Hi all!

There are problems with nbd driver:

 - nbd reconnect is cancelled on drain, which is bad as Roman describes
   in his "[PATCH 0/7] block/nbd: decouple reconnect from drain"
 - nbd driver is too complicated around drained sections and aio context
   switch. It's nearly impossible to follow all the logic, including
   abuse of bs->in_flight, which is temporary decreased in some places
   (like nbd_read_eof()). Additional reconnect thread and two different
   state machines (we have BDRVNBDState::state and
   BDRVNBDState::connect_thread->state) doesn't make things simpler :)

So, I have a plan:

1. Move nbd negotiation to connect_thread

2. Do receive NBD replies in request coroutines, not in connection_co
  
   At this point we can drop connection_co, and when we don't have
   endless running coroutine, NBD driver becomes a usual block driver,
   and we can drop abuse of bs->in_flight, and probably drop most of
   complicated logic around drained section and aio context switch in
   nbd driver.

3. Still, as Roman describes, with [2] we loose a possibility to
   reconnect immediately when connection breaks (with current code we
   have endless read in reconnect_co, but actually for this to work
   keep-alive should be setup correctly). So, we'll need to reinvent it,
   checking connection periodically by timeout, with help of getsockopt
   or just sending a kind of PING request (zero-length READ or something
   like this).

And this series a kind of preparation. The main point of it is moving
connect-thread to a separate file.

This series may crash on iotest 277. So, it's based on corresponding
fix: "[PATCH 1/7] block/nbd: avoid touching freed connect_thread":
