block: Support Archipelago as a QEMU block backend

VM Image on Archipelago volume is specified like this:

file.driver=archipelago,file.volume=<volumename>[,file.mport=<mapperd_port>[,
file.vport=<vlmcd_port>][,file.segment=<segment_name>]]

'archipelago' is the protocol.

'mport' is the port number on which mapperd is listening. This is optional
and if not specified, QEMU will make Archipelago to use the default port.

'vport' is the port number on which vlmcd is listening. This is optional
and if not specified, QEMU will make Archipelago to use the default port.

'segment' is the name of the shared memory segment Archipelago stack is using.
This is optional and if not specified, QEMU will make Archipelago to use the
default value, 'archipelago'.

Examples:

file.driver=archipelago,file.volume=my_vm_volume
file.driver=archipelago,file.volume=my_vm_volume,file.mport=123
file.driver=archipelago,file.volume=my_vm_volume,file.mport=123,
file.vport=1234
file.driver=archipelago,file.volume=my_vm_volume,file.mport=123,
file.vport=1234,file.segment=my_segment
