Add virDomainGetBlockInfo API to query disk sizing

Browse Source 
Some applications need to be able to query a guest's disk info,
even for paths not managed by the storage pool APIs. This adds
a very simple API to get this information, modelled on the
virStorageVolGetInfo API, but with an extra field 'physical'.
Normally 'physical' and 'allocation' will be identical, but
in the case of a qcow2-like file stored inside a block device
'physical' will give the block device size, while 'allocation'
will give the qcow2 image size

* This struct provides information about the size of a block device backing store

* Examples:
*
* - Fully allocated raw file in filesystem:

*
* - Sparse raw file in filesystem:
* * capacity: logical size of the file
* * allocation, physical: number of blocks allocated to file
*
* - qcow2 file in filesystem
* * capacity: logical size from qcow2 header
* * allocation, physical: logical size of the file / highest qcow extent (identical)
*
* - qcow2 file in a block device
* * capacity: logical size from qcow2 header
* * allocation: highest qcow extent written
* * physical: size of the block device container
