Socket activation (sometimes known as systemd socket activation) allows an Internet superserver to pass a pre-opened listening socket to the process, instead of having qemu-nbd open a socket itself. This is done via the LISTEN_FDS and LISTEN_PID environment variables, and a standard file descriptor range. This change partially implements socket activation for qemu-nbd. If the environment variables are set correctly, then socket activation will happen automatically, otherwise everything works as before. The limitation is that LISTEN_FDS must be 1.
