nbd/client: Simplify cookie vs. index computation

Our code relies on a sentinel cookie value of zero for deciding when a
packet has been handled, as well as relying on array indices between 0
and MAX_NBD_REQUESTS-1 for dereferencing purposes.  As long as we can
symmetrically convert between two forms, there is no reason to go with
the odd choice of using XOR with a random pointer, when we can instead
simplify the mappings with a mere offset of 1.

Using ((uint64_t)-1) as the sentinel instead of NULL such that the two
macros could be entirely eliminated might also be possible, but would
require a more careful audit to find places where we currently rely on
zero-initialization to be interpreted as the sentinel value, so I did
not pursue that course.
