Connecting to a /dev/nbdN device is a Linux-specific action.
We were already masking -c and -d from 'qemu-nbd --help' on
non-linux. However, while -d fails with a sensible error
message, it took hunting through a couple of files to prove
that. What's more, the code for -c doesn't fail until after
it has created a pthread and tried to open a device - possibly
even printing an error message with %m on a non-Linux platform
in spite of the comment that %m is glibc-specific. Make the
failure happen sooner, then get rid of stubs that are no
longer needed because of the early exits.
While at it: tweak the blank newlines in --help output to be
consistent, whether or not built on Linux.

Looks like a sensible code refactoring/simplification to me, so:

hmm, we have some if (device ...) conditions with extra logic above this point.
I think it's better to fail earlier in this case. For example, exactly after
