NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME is lousy: per the NBD protocol, any failure requires the server to close the connection rather than report an error to us. Therefore, upstream NBD recently added NBD_OPT_GO as the improved version of the option that does what we want [1]: it reports sane errors on failures, and on success provides at least as much info as NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME. [1] https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/extension-info/doc/proto.md This is a first cut at use of the information types. Note that we do not need to use NBD_OPT_INFO, and that use of NBD_OPT_GO means we no longer have to use NBD_OPT_LIST to learn whether a server requires TLS (this requires servers that gracefully handle unknown NBD_OPT, many servers prior to qemu 2.5 were buggy, but I have patched qemu, upstream nbd, and nbdkit in the meantime, in part because of interoperability testing with this patch). We still fall back to NBD_OPT_LIST when NBD_OPT_GO is not supported on the server, as it is still one last chance for a nicer error message. Later patches will use further info, like NBD_INFO_BLOCK_SIZE.
