Libguestfs - Jun 2018 - [PATCH] v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Fix name error

http was missing in emulate_zero, so the code would fail with NameError.
This can happen only when communicating with old imageio versions not
supporting the "zero" feature.

Testing with qemu-img 2.12 show that we never send emulated zero request
because of the highestwrite mechanism, but it can break with older
qemu-img-rhev used on RHEL.

After some more cleanup, I found that we are missing also "transfer"
here.
I'll send a fixed patch.
