block: Add option to create inactive nodes

In QEMU, nodes are automatically created inactive while expecting an
incoming migration (i.e. RUN_STATE_INMIGRATE). In qemu-storage-daemon,
the notion of runstates doesn't exist. It also wouldn't necessarily make
sense to introduce it because a single daemon can serve multiple VMs
that can be in different states.

Therefore, allow the user to explicitly open images as inactive with a
new option. The default is as before: Nodes are usually active, except
when created during RUN_STATE_INMIGRATE.
