[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 2/3] delay: Fix delay-close

See comments in the code for how this has been fixed.

This only delays clients which use NBD_CMD_DISC (libnbd
nbd_shutdown(3)).  Clients which drop the connection obviously cannot
be delayed.  For example:

$ nbdkit --filter=delay null delay-close=3 \
    --run 'time nbdsh -u $uri -c "h.shutdown()"
           time nbdsh -u $uri -c "pass"'

real	0m3.061s     # Client used shutdown, was delayed
user	0m0.028s
sys	0m0.030s

real	0m0.058s     # Client disconnected, was not delayed
user	0m0.029s
sys	0m0.027s
