nbd: Update qapi to support exporting multiple bitmaps
Since 'block-export-add' is new to 5.2, we can still tweak the
interface; there, allowing 'bitmaps':['str'] is nicer than
'bitmap':'str'. This wires up the qapi and qemu-nbd changes to permit
passing multiple bitmaps as distinct metadata contexts that the NBD
client may request, but the actual support for more than one will
require a further patch to the server.
Note that there are no changes made to the existing deprecated
'nbd-server-add' command; this required splitting the QAPI type
BlockExportOptionsNbd, which fortunately does not affect QMP
introspection.
