nbd/server: Don't fail NBD_OPT_INFO for byte-aligned sources



In commit 0c1d50bd, I added a couple of TODO comments about whether we
consult bl.request_alignment when responding to NBD_OPT_INFO. At the
time, qemu as server was hard-coding an advertised alignment of 512 to
clients that promised to obey constraints, and there was no function
for getting at a device's preferred alignment. But in hindsight,
advertising 512 when the block device prefers 1 caused other
compliance problems, and commit b0245d64 changed one of the two TODO
comments to advertise a more accurate alignment. Time to fix the other
TODO.  Doesn't really impact qemu as client (our normal client doesn't
use NBD_OPT_INFO, and qemu-nbd --list promises to obey block sizes),
but it might prove useful to other clients.
