Re: [Libguestfs] [libnbd PATCH 0/3] Simplify nbd_shutdown vs. opt mode

While working on a larger set of patches to make nbdinfo favor NBD_OPT_INFO over NBD_OPT_GO where possible (which requires use of nbd_set_opt_mode(,true) in more cases), I noticed that it got unwieldy to have to pick the correct shutdown function in all code paths. So I propose making the API smarter, by adding an opt-in flag that does the right thing on my behalf. If you have an idea for a better name for the flag, or think this functionality should be enabled by default, let me know. Part of the reason for choosing a new flag is that it becomes a compile-time witness of whether nbd_shutdown has the desired capability (if we allow it to auto-opt_abort without a flag, it's harder to tell whether we are running against an older libnbd where it errors out instead).
