iotests: New test 223 for exporting dirty bitmap over NBD
Although this test is NOT a full test of image fleecing (as it intentionally uses just a single block device directly exported over NBD, rather than trying to set up a blockdev-backup job with multiple BDS involved), it DOES prove that qemu as a server is able to properly expose a dirty bitmap over NBD. When coupled with image fleecing, it is then possible for a third-party client to do an incremental backup by using qemu-img map with the x-dirty-bitmap option to learn which parts of the file are dirty (perhaps confusingly, they are the portions mapped as "data":false - which is part of the reason this is still in the x- experimental namespace), along with another normal client (perhaps 'qemu-nbd -c' to expose the server over /dev/nbd0 and then just use normal I/O on that block device) to read the dirty sections.
