nbd: handle dead connections
Sometimes we like to upgrade our server without making all of our clients freak out and reconnect. This patch provides a way to specify a dead connection timeout to allow us to pause all requests and wait for new connections to be opened. With this in place I can take down the nbd server for less than the dead connection timeout time and bring it back up and everything resumes gracefully.
