[Libguestfs] launch failure of appliance with nbd drive

[Richard W.M. Jones]

You may be interested that libguestfs 1.21.30 has support for
remote URIs from guestfish etc.

  guestfish -a ssh://remote/path/to/disk.img

In upstream git also Unix domain sockets are supported:

  guestfish -a nbd://?socket=/tmp/sock
