Add specialized block driver scsi generic API (Avi Kivity)

When a scsi device is backed by a scsi generic device instead of an
ordinary host block device, the block API is abused in a couple of annoying
ways:

 - nb_sectors is negative, and specifies a byte count instead of a sector count
 - offset is ignored, since scsi-generic is essentially a packet protocol

This overloading makes hacking the block layer difficult.  Remove it by
introducing a new explicit API for scsi-generic devices.  The new API
is still backed by the old implementation, but at least the users are
insulated.
