Add virDomainGetBlockInfo API to query disk sizing
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 * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define virDomainGetBlockInfo
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
