ISCSI: Add SCSI passthrough via scsi-generic to libiscsi

Update iscsi to allow passthrough of SG_IO scsi commands when the iscsi
device is forced to be scsi-generic.

Implement both bdrv_ioctl() and bdrv_aio_ioctl() in the iscsi backend,
emulate the SG_IO ioctl and pass the SCSI commands across to the
iscsi target.

This allows end-to-end passthrough of SCSI all the way from the guest,
to qemu, via scsi-generic, then libiscsi all the way to the iscsi target.

To activate this you need to specify that the iscsi lun should be treated
as a scsi-generic device.

Example:
    -device lsi -device scsi-generic,drive=MyISCSI \
    -drive file=iscsi://10.1.1.125/iqn.ronnie.test/1,if=none,id=MyISCSI

Note, you can currently not boot a qemu guest from a scsi device.

Note,
This only works when the host is linux, since the emulation relies on
definitions of SG_IO from the scsi-generic implementation in the
linux kernel.
It should be fairly easy to re-implement some structures similar enough
for non-linux hosts to do the same style of passthrough via a fake
scsi generic layer and libiscsi if need be.
