iotests: Switch nbd tests to use Unix rather than TCP
Up to now, all it took to cause a lot of iotest failures was to have a
background process such as 'nbdkit -p 10810 null' running, because we
hard-coded the TCP port. Switching to a Unix socket eliminates this
contention. We still have TCP coverage in test 233, and that test is
more careful to not pick a hard-coded port.
Add a comment explaining where the format layer applies when using
NBD as protocol (until NBD gains support for a resize extension, we
only pipe raw bytes over the wire).
