nbd/client: Relax handling of large NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS reply
The NBD spec is proposing a relaxation of NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS where a server may have the final extent per context give a length beyond the original request, if it can easily prove that subsequent bytes have the same status, on the grounds that a client can take advantage of this information for fewer block status requests. Since qemu 2.12 as a client always sends NBD_CMD_FLAG_REQ_ONE, and rejects a server that sends extra length, the upstream NBD spec will probably limit this behavior to clients that don't request REQ_ONE semantics; but it doesn't hurt to relax qemu to always be permissive of this server behavior, even if it continues to use REQ_ONE.
