Bug 1022393

Just to make clear how is libvirt acting on migration with non-shared storage (just 'migration' hereafter). On migration request, the source checks for 'nbd-server-start' command (*) and advertises this fact to the destination libvirt. If the destination libvirt sees that the source knows NBD migration, it checks for the very same command, and adds all non-shared disks to the migration queue (via 'nbd-server-add'). If the command is not present, the old way of migration is assumed. The presence and successfulness of all nbd-server-* commands is then advertised back to the destination, which then just start 'drive-mirror' to all non-shared disks. Then, the source libvirt waits for storage migration to settle down after which the actual migration of RAM & internal state is started.

In case any of source or destination doesn't support 'nbd-server-start' the old way of migration is used.

So what we need here is:
1) disable 'blk' and 'inc' flags to 'migrate' command
2) hide/disable 'nbd-server-start' command

Doing just 1) (what is done here IIUC) is not enough for the reason mention above - if libvirt detects 'nbd-server-start' on both source and destination it won't even get to the 'blk' or 'inc' in migrate where an error would be thrown.

---
* - in fact, the command presence is checked on qemu startup and it's remembered. Moreover, if the command is presented all other nbd-server-* commands are assumed too. But their presence is not checked, though.

verify with build:
