Libguestfs - Aug 2022 - [libnbd PATCH 2/2] api: Test previous patch

While trying to add a new API nbd_opt_set_meta_context(), I noticed
some existing oddities with nbd_opt_list_meta_context() and
nbd_opt_info().

Eric Blake (2):
  api: Better use of nbd_internal_reset_size_and_flags

The documentation for nbd_internal_reset_size_and_flags() claims we
should wipe all knowledge of previously-negotiated meta contexts when
swapping export names.  However, we weren't actually doing that, which
could lead to a user calling nbd_opt_info() for one export, then
switching to another export name, then having nbd_get_size() still
report the size of the old export.  At present, this is only mildly
confusing, but once the next patch exposes nbd_opt_set_meta_context()
for user control, it would become actively dangerous: negotiating meta
contexts for one export, then switching to a different export name
before nbd_opt_go, can lead us into calling nbd_cmd_block_status() when
the server is not expecting it.

While fixing this, code things to check whether we are actually
swapping export names; an idempotent nbd_set_export_name() is not
observable by the server, and therefore does not need to invalidate
what has already been negotiated.

Conversely, calling nbd_opt_list_meta_context() does not need to wipe
the list - it does not touch h->meta_contexts, but relies on the
user's callback instead.

Add testsuite coverage that exposes the flaw fixed in the previous patch.
