[Libguestfs] [libnbd PATCH] api: Add way to avoid structured replies

We want to default to requesting structured replies, whether or not
that request will be honored (it's essential for efficient sparse file
reads and the DF flag for structured pread, as well as for meta
context support even if we do not request a default meta context).
However, for integration testing, it can be nice to easily request a
client that does not request structured replies.
We can test this by reusing our eflags test. Note that nbdkit does
not provide a 'can_df' callback in the sh script (so our key=value
override is silently ignored), rather, we control whether nbdkit
advertises df based on whether we request structured replies.
---
I'm open to renaming the API to the shorter 'nbd_set_request_sr' if
the existing name choice seems too long.
This is a counterpart to the recent addition of --no-sr in nbdkit 1.14
for server-side disable; but by doing it in the client side, we can
test lack of structured replies even while still using nbdkit 1.12.x.
