Give vhost-user-blk a possibility (and responsibility) to decide when
do connect. It will help us to realize vhost-user-blk backend-transfer
migration feature:

For incoming migration we'll need to postpone connect at least until
early stage of migrate-incoming command, when we already know all
migration parameters and can decide, are we going to do incoming
backend-transfer (and get chardev fd from incoming stream), or we
finally need to connect.

With this patch, we don't modify vhost-user-blk.c: it already
do call qemu_chr_fe_wait_connected(), which in turn calls
qemu_chr_connect().
