This is preliminary work towards enabling 64-bit NBD extensions in
libnbd, based on review feedback given by Laszlo and others.  The v3
patch series is here:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-May/031617.html

This series focuses on patches 1 and 3-6 of v3 (patch 2 from that
series was already pushed earlier); there remains more work to do on
7-22 that will follow later.  For convenience, I've tagged this as
https://repo.or.cz/libnbd/ericb.git/shortlog/refs/tags/exthdr-v4a

Comparison to v3 (more notes in individual patches):

001/6:[down] 'internal: Track chunk payload length left'
002/6:[0106] [FC] 'block_status: Refactor array storage'
003/6:[0033] [FC] 'protocol: Add definitions for extended headers'
004/6:[0032] [FC] 'states: Prepare to send 64-bit requests'
005/6:[0137] [FC] 'states: Prepare to receive 64-bit replies'
006/6:[0017] [FC] 'states: Break deadlock if server goofs on extended replies'
