Option --allow_emulated_drives enables addressing of pseudo-drives

block devices result in pseudo-drives which behave much like DVD-RAM.
If the given address does not exist yet but its directory exists, then
it gets created as regular file.

Pseudo-drives behave much like DVD-RAM. They allow -dummy, nevertheless, and
their reply with --tell_media_space can be utopic. If the given address does
not exist yet but its directory exists, then it gets created as regular file
as soon as a write operation occurs.
Note: -dummy burn runs touch the file.
Addresses of the form "stdio:/dev/fd/<number>" are treated special. The
number is read literally and used as open file descriptor. With
dev="stdio:/dev/fd/1" the normal standard output of the program is
redirected to stderr and the stream data of a burn run will appear on stdout.
