[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2 6/7] server: Fix OPT_GO on different export than SET_META_CONTEXT

The NBD spec says that if a client requests SET_META_CONTEXT for
exportA, but later requests NBD_OPT_GO/EXPORT_NAME for exportB, then
the server should reject NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS requests (that is, the
context returned for exportA need not apply to exportB).  When we
originally added base:allocation, our argument was that we always
ignore export names, so it was easier to just treat any two export
names as being the same export, so no need to reset things.  But now
that we have nbdkit_export_name(), we are better off obeying the spec.

Note that there are no known clients in the wild that can actually
perform this cross-export-name request; this was found by inspection,
but I also tested it via strategic gdb breakpoints in qemu-io.  I also
don't see the point in hacking up libnbd to become such a client.
