[Libguestfs] nbdkit / mingw support

[Frank Gu]

The rebased version is at
https://github.com/gyf304/nbdkit/commits/msys2-port
It is currently buildable with:
autoreconf -i && ./configure host=x86_64-pc-msys && make -j

A few changes are added:
* nbdkit_peer_name is added back but will always error.
* __declspec(dllexport) is added to the headers for PE compatibility.
* -D_spawnv=spawnv is now removed.
  I think I didn't run ./configure properly last time.
