block: Convert bdrv_get_block_status() to bytes
We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. In the common case, allocation is unlikely to ever use
values that are not naturally sector-aligned, but it is possible
that byte-based values will let us be more precise about allocation
at the end of an unaligned file that can do byte-based access.
Changing the name of the function from bdrv_get_block_status() to
bdrv_block_status() ensures that the compiler enforces that all
callers are updated. For now, the io.c layer still assert()s that
all callers are sector-aligned, but that can be relaxed when a later
patch implements byte-based block status in the drivers.
There was an inherent limitation in returning the offset via the
return value: we only have room for BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_MASK bits, which
means an offset can only be mapped for sector-aligned queries (or,
if we declare that non-aligned input is at the same relative position
modulo 512 of the answer), so the new interface also changes things to
return the offset via output through a parameter by reference rather
than mashed into the return value. We'll have some glue code that
munges between the two styles until we finish converting all uses.
For the most part this patch is just the addition of scaling at the
callers followed by inverse scaling at bdrv_block_status(), coupled
with the tweak in calling convention. But some code, particularly
bdrv_is_allocated(), gets a lot simpler because it no longer has to
mess with sectors.
For ease of review, bdrv_get_block_status_above() will be tackled
separately.
