This function may be implemented by block drivers to derive a directory
name from a BDS. Concatenating this g_free()-able string with a relative
filename must result in a valid (not necessarily existing) filename, so
this is a function that should generally be not implemented by format
drivers, because this is protocol-specific.
If a BDS's driver does not implement this function, bdrv_dirname() will
fall through to the BDS's file if it exists. If it does not, the
exact_filename field will be used to generate a directory name.
