Tapdisk control in userspace, a replacement for the original blktap2
control stack, which had to pass a kernel space interface based on
sysfs nodes.

All tapdisk processes listen for commands on a unix stream socket. The
control library supports scanning the socket namespace for running
tapdisks, VBD minors allocated, associated images and state inquiry.

Control operations include allocating/releasing devices, spawning
tapdisks, opening/closing images, attaching disk images to
devices. disk pause/resume operations and runtime switching of disk
images.
