Output.output_to_local_file is used by several output modes that write
to local files or devices. It launches an instance of qemu-nbd or
nbdkit connected to the local file.
Previously we unconditionally added an On_exit handler to kill the NBD
server. This is usually safe because nbdcopy --flush has guaranteed
that the data was written through to permanent storage, and so killing
the NBD server is just there to prevent orphaned processes.
However for output to RHV (-o rhv) we actually need the NBD server to
be cleaned up before we exit. See the analysis here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1953286#c26
Allow an alternate strategy of waiting for the NBD server to exit
during virt-v2v shutdown.
