Hi,

When I implemented TLS support into nbd-server, I made it send
NBD_REP_ERR_PLATFORM to the client if it asked for TLS support and that
was disabled at compile time. I think this is a valid use for that error
message (which is otherwise not ever used), and I think I should update
the docs to account for it.

What do other people think?

Looks reasonable to me.
