Use new-style negotiation always, with default "" (empty) export name
if it is not specified with '-x' option.
qemu as client can manage either style since 2.6.0, commit 69b49502d8
For comparison:
nbd 3.10 dropped oldstyle long ago (Mar 2015):
https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/commit/36940193
nbdkit 1.3 switched its default to newstyle (Jan 2018):
https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/b2a8aecc
https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/8158e773
Furthermore, if a client that only speaks oldstyle still needs to
communicate to qemu, nbdkit remains available to perform the
translation between the two protocols.
