[PATCH nbdkit] server: Implement extents/can_extents calls for plugins and filters.
Second version based on nbdkit_extent* calls, as discussed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-March/msg00033.html
Note in particular there is some subtlety about how filters would work
in this implementation. See docs/nbdkit-filter.pod for the details.
Rich.

[PATCH nbdkit] server: Implement extents/can_extents calls for plugins and filters.
This tentative commit implements extents/can_extents, roughly as
discussed in the previous thread here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-March/msg00017.html
I can't say that I'm a big fan of having the plugin allocate an
extents array. There are no other plugin callbacks currently where we
require the plugin to allocate complex data structures (or indeed do
any allocation
