[PATCH v10 5/7] block/export: vhost-user block device backend server

[Coiby Xu]

By making use of libvhost-user, block device drive can be shared to
the connected vhost-user client. Only one client can connect to the
server one time.

Since vhost-user-server needs a block drive to be created first, delay
the creation of this object.
