nbd/server: Fix structured read of length 0

The NBD spec was recently clarified to state that a read of length 0
should not be attempted by a compliant client; but that a server must
still handle it correctly in an unspecified manner (that is, either
a successful no-op or an error reply, but not a crash) [1].  However,
it also implies that NBD_REPLY_TYPE_OFFSET_DATA must have a non-zero
payload length, but our existing code was replying with a chunk
that a picky client could reject as invalid because it was missing
a payload (our own client implementation was recently patched to be
that picky, after first fixing it to not send 0-length requests).

We are already doing successful no-ops for 0-length writes and for
non-structured reads; so for consistency, we want structured reply
reads to also be a no-op.  The easiest way to do this is to return
a NBD_REPLY_TYPE_NONE chunk; this is best done via a new helper
function (especially since future patches for other structured
replies may benefit from using the same helper).
