Allow access to the imageio NBD socket #70

oVirt imageio internally uses NBD. However from virt-v2v and v2v warm conversions we still have to use the HTTPS API which is slow. Using NBD natively makes a lot more sense, and so I think we should expose the NBD socket to clients, at least locally.

No change is needed in imageio to expose the socket. The change is needed in engine, as described in the linked bug, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1751212#c3

So this should move to https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/issues
