block: extend BLOCK_IO_ERROR event with nospace indicator

Management software, such as RHEV's vdsm, want to be able to allocate
disk space on demand. The basic use case is to start a VM with a small
disk and then the disk is enlarged when QEMU hits a ENOSPC condition.

To this end, the management software has to be notified when QEMU
encounters ENOSPC. The solution implemented by this commit is simple:
it extends the BLOCK_IO_ERROR with a 'nospace' key, which is true
when QEMU is stopped due to ENOSPC.

Note that support for querying this event is already present in
query-block by means of the 'io-status' key. Also, the new 'nospace'
BLOCK_IO_ERROR field shares the same semantics with 'io-status',
which basically means that werror= has to be set to either
'stop' or 'enospc' to enable 'nospace'.

Finally, this commit also updates the 'io-status' key doc in the
schema with a list of supported device models.
