[Libguestfs] [libnbd PATCH v2 05/13] api: Add nbd_set_opt_mode

Now that we have a new NEGOTIATING state, we need a knob for the user
to request moving into that state. This patch does not actually alter
the state machine, but one thing at a time. However, the libnbd docs
now mention several commands that will be added in future commits.
(Hmm - our generator refuses to compile in-tree links in API.ml that
don't resolve, but not links in libnbd.pod.)
One thing we can test at this point: an oldstyle server will never
get into opt mode; that will only be possible for a newstyle server.

+=head1 CONTROLLING NEGOTIATION
+
+By default, when beginning a connection, libnbd will handle all
+negotiation with the server, using only the configuration
+(eg. L<nbd_set_export_name(3)> or L<nbd_add_meta_context(3)>) that was
+requested before the connection attempt; this phase continues until
+L<nbd_aio_is_connecting(3)> no longer returns true, at which point,
+either data commands are ready to use or else the connection has
+failed with an error.
+
+But there are scenarios in which it is useful to also control the
+handshaking commands sent during negotiation, such as asking the
+server for a list of available exports prior to selecting which one to
+use. This is done by calling L<nbd_set_opt_mode(3)> before
+connecting; then after requesting a connection, the state machine will
+pause at L<nbd_aio_is_negotiating(3)> at any point that the user can
+decide which handshake command to send next. Note that the
+negotiation state is only reachable from newstyle servers; older
+servers cannot negotiate and will progress all the way to the ready
+state.
+
+When the negotiating state is reached, you can initiate option
+commands such as L<nbd_opt_list(3)> or their asynchronous equivalents,
+as well as alter configuration such as export name that previously had
+to be set before connection. Since the NBD protocol does not allow
+parallel negotiating commands, no cookie is involved, and you can
+track completion of each command when the state is no longer
+L<nbd_aio_is_connecting(3)>. If L<nbd_opt_go(3)> fails but the
+connection is still live, you will be back in negotiation state, where
+you can request a different export name and try again. Exiting the
+negotiation state is only possible with a successful L<nbd_opt_go(3)>
+which moves to the data phase, or L<nbd_opt_abort(3)> which performs a
+clean shutdown of the connection by skipping the data phase.
