This makes it possible to determine what the exact reason was for
a RESET or a SHUTDOWN. A management layer might need the specific reason
of those events to determine which cleanups or other actions it needs to do.
This patch also updates the iotests to the new expected output that includes
the reason.

Testing granularity at the same size as the cluster isn't quite
as fun as what happens when it is larger or smaller. This
enhancement also shows that qemu's nbd server can serve the
same disk over multiple exports simultaneously.

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.
