Add a monitor command that allows resizing of block devices while
qemu is running.  It uses the existing bdrv_truncate method already
used by qemu-img to do it's work.  Compared to qemu-img the size
parsing is very simplicistic, but I think having a properly numering
object is more useful for non-humand monitor users than having
the units and relative resize parsing.

For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by
doing the following shell command:

	echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan

For ATA devices I don't know of a way to update the block device
size in Linux system, and for virtio-blk the next two patches
will provide an automatic update of the size when this command
is issued on the host.

This resizes the image files.  Resizing an LVM volume is a useful case
too.  One way to integrate that feature is to implement a host_device
.bdrv_truncate() that checks the underlying device size and returns
success if it matches the new value and failure otherwise.  Or perhaps
allow the QEMU resize command without an argument to fetch the size
from the underlying device (aka refresh the size).

Hrm...BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY probably too?

If we want to be consistent, yes.  Or we could remove the CDROM check
and let people shoot themselves in the foot as much as they want.

size should be 'o' instead of 'l'. The latter may be too small on 32 bit
hosts and doesn't support convenient suffixes:

 * 'l'          target long (32 or 64 bit)

 * 'o'          octets (aka bytes)
 *              user mode accepts an optional T, t, G, g, M, m, K, k
 *              suffix, which multiplies the value by 2^40 for
 *              suffixes T and t, 2^30 for suffixes G and g, 2^20 for
 *              M and m, 2^10 for K and k

Hm, is there a real reason except that CD-ROMs are read-only? The code
below seems to take read-only devices into account.

Fixed.

I've removed the CDROM check for the next version.

o actually fails for 2GB or more for me:

(qemu) resize scratch 2047 
resize scratch 2047 
(qemu) 
(qemu) resize scrarch 2048
resize scrarch 2048
invalid size

for l these worked fine.

Hm, yeah, 'o' uses ssize_t instead of int64_t, so it's broken on a 32
bit host as well. Though I assume that you use a 64 bit host, and I
can't really see what's the problem there...

This is a test on a 32-bit host.  The target_long of "l" worked fine
because a kvm enabled qemu always builds for an x86-64 target, even
with a 32-bit host.
