When consumers open a blob with spdk_bs_open_blob_ext(), they can set
esnap_ctx in struct spdk_blob_open_opts to have that context passed
to bs->external_bs_dev_create().

When a blobstore consumer creates or loads a blobstore, it should be
able to set a per-blobstore context pointer that will be passed back to
the consumer via bs->esnap_bs_dev_create().

This is the beginning of support for external snapshots. An external
snapshot is a read-only blobstore device (struct spdk_bs_dev) that can
be used as a blob's back device. Normally a blob will have no back
device (a normal blob), a zeroes back device (a thin provisioned blob),
or a blob back device (a clone blob). When a blob has an external
snapshot ("esnap") as its back device, it is called an esnap clone.
With this patch, esnap clones can be created but they are not yet
useful. Subsequent patches in the series will plumb the IO path, enable
various features, and allow lvol bdevs to be esnap clones.
