block: define get_block_status return value

Define the return value of get_block_status.  Bits 0, 1, 2 and 9-62
are valid; bit 63 (the sign bit) is reserved for errors.  Bits 3-8
are left for future extensions.

The return code is compatible with the old is_allocated API: if a driver
only returns 0 or 1 (aka BDRV_BLOCK_DATA) like is_allocated used to,
clients of is_allocated will not have any change in behavior.  Still,
we will return more precise information in the next patches and the
new definition of bdrv_is_allocated is already prepared for this.
