[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2 2/2] nbd: Split reading into separate thread

In preparation for allowing interleaved response, refactor the
nbd forwarder so that writes are still done from the thread
handling the original request from the client, but all reads are
done by a dedicated reader thread. Control between the two
flags is gated by a mutex for storing the transaction
information, coupled with a pipe for the reader thread to send
the final status back to the handler thread.
