docs: show how to spawn qemu-storage-daemon with fd passing
The QMP monitor, NBD server, and vhost-user-blk export all support file
descriptor passing. This is a useful technique because it allows the
parent process to spawn and wait for qemu-storage-daemon without busy
waiting, which may delay startup due to arbitrary sleep() calls.
This Python example is inspired by the test case written for libnbd by
