[Libguestfs] [libnbd PATCH v2 5/5] api: Add STRICT_BOUNDS/ZERO_SIZE to nbd_set_strict_mode

The NBD protocol states that a 0-length request is undefined; we were
inconsistent in that we let it through for read, write, and cache, but
blocked it for trim, zero, and block_status.  The NBD protocol also
has documented rules on handling access beyond EOF, but we are
currently wasting traffic to the server when we can give the same
answer ourselves.  Exposing these as two more strictness knobs gives
the user finer-grained control over what behavior they want.
