nbd/server: Support 64-bit block status


The NBD spec states that if the client negotiates extended headers,
the server must avoid NBD_REPLY_TYPE_BLOCK_STATUS and instead use
NBD_REPLY_TYPE_BLOCK_STATUS_EXT which supports 64-bit lengths, even if
the reply does not need more than 32 bits.  As of this patch,
client->mode is still never NBD_MODE_EXTENDED, so the code added here
does not take effect until the next patch enables negotiation.

For now, all metacontexts that we know how to export never populate
more than 32 bits of information, so we don't have to worry about
NBD_REP_ERR_EXT_HEADER_REQD or filtering during handshake, and we
always send all zeroes for the upper 32 bits of status during
NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS.

Note that we previously had some interesting size-juggling on call
chains, such as:

nbd_co_send_block_status(uint32_t length)
-> blockstatus_to_extents(uint32_t bytes)
  -> bdrv_block_status_above(bytes, &uint64_t num)
  -> nbd_extent_array_add(uint64_t num)
    -> store num in 32-bit length

But we were lucky that it never overflowed: bdrv_block_status_above
never sets num larger than bytes, and we had previously been capping
'bytes' at 32 bits (since the protocol does not allow sending a larger
request without extended headers).  This patch adds some assertions
that ensure we continue to avoid overflowing 32 bits for a narrow
client, while fully utilizing 64-bits all the way through when the
client understands that.  Even in 64-bit math, overflow is not an
issue, because all lengths are coming from the block layer, and we
know that the block layer does not support images larger than off_t
(if lengths were coming from the network, the story would be
different).
