strtosz() needs to return a 64 bit type even on 32 bit
architectures. Otherwise qemu-img will fail to create disk
images >= 2GB

This introduces strtosz_suffix() which allows the caller to specify a
default suffix in case the non default of MB is wanted.
strtosz() is kept as a wrapper for strtosz_suffix() which keeps it's
current default of MB.

strtosz() returns -1 on error. It now supports human unit formats in
eg. 1.0G, with better error handling.
The following suffixes are supported:
B/b = bytes
K/k = KB
M/m = MB
G/g = GB
T/t = TB
This patch changes -numa and -m input to use strtosz().

If we are flushing the caches for our image files we only care about the
data (including the metadata required for accessing it) but not things
like timestamp updates. So try to use fdatasync instead of fsync to
implement the flush operations.
Unfortunately many operating systems still do not support fdatasync,
so we add a qemu_fdatasync wrapper that uses fdatasync if available
as per the _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO feature macro or fsync otherwise.

One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are
sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first
requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first
couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just
to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster.
Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can
avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place.
As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less
and larger requests.

Problem: It is impossible to feed filenames with the character colon because
qemu interprets such names as a protocol. For example filename scsi:0, is
interpreted as a protocol by name "scsi".
This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above
filename can now be expressed either as 'scsi\:0' or as file:scsi:0
anything following the "file:" tag is interpreted verbatin. However if "file:"
tag is omitted then any colon characters in the string must be escaped using
backslash.
Here are couple of examples:
scsi\:0\:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
http\://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb
file:scsi:0:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
file:http://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb
