[PATCH 4/4] libxl: Support blktap with HVM device model

[Jason Andryuk <jandryuk@xxxxxxxxx>]

blktap exposes disks over UNIX socket Network Block Device (NBD).
Modify libxl__device_disk_find_local_path() to provide back the
QEMU-formatted NBD path.  This allows tapdisk to be used for booting an
HVM.

Use the nbd+unix:/// format specified by the protocol at
https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/master/doc/uri.md
