[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH] tests: Swap nbdkit process order in test-nbd-tls-psk.sh

We're still seeing sporadic failures of 'nbdkit nbd tls=', and I'm
still trying to come up with a root cause fix (it may involve smarter
use of gnutls_bye() in libnbd).  In the meantime, here's what we know:
when the hang/failure happens, the 'nbdkit nbd tls=' client process is
stuck in a poll() waiting to see EOF from the server, while the
'nbdkit example1' server process is stuck in a read waiting to see if
the client will do a clean shutdown of the gnutls session.  Sending
SIGTERM to the client is not going to break the poll, but if we
instead kill the server, that will cause the client to respond
(perhaps with an error message that we ignore, but better than
hanging).

So, by rearranging the order in which we call our start_nbdkit
function, we change the order in which we send SIGTERM to the two
processes.  And in turn, this becomes the first testsuite coverage of
the 'nbd retry=' parameter, added back in commit 0bb76bc7.

My current setup does not seem to be hitting the testsuite
hang/failure as frequently as Rich's setup, so for now I'm posting
this in the hopes that we can see if it reduces the rate of testsuite
failures.
