config: select BLK_DEV_NBD as module

Enable BLK_DEV_NBD as module to allow computer to be a client for network block devices, i.e. it will be able to use block devices exported by servers (mount file systems on them etc.). Communication between client and server works over TCP/IP networking, but to the client program this is hidden: it looks like a regular local file access to a block device special file such as /dev/nd0. Network block devices also allows you to run a block-device in userland (making server and client physically the same computer, communicating using the loopback network device). Module will be called nbd. Signed-off-by: Kelsey Steele <[email protected]>
