Allow the snapshot chunk size to be smaller than the page size
The code is now capable of handling this due to some previous
fixes and enhancements.
As the page size varies between computers, prior to this patch,
the chunk size of a snapshot dictated which machines could read it:
Snapshots created on one machine might not be readable on another.

Use unsigned integer chunk size.
Maximum chunk size is 512kB, there won't ever be need to use 4GB chunk size,
so the number can be 32-bit. This fixes compiler failure on 32-bit systems
with large block devices.

Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a
pre-existing snapshot.
For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator
or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the
chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used.
If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default
chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it
is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the
correct on-disk value is always used.
Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is
prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got
corrupted as happened in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.
This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size.
Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure
consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two.
Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace
does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst
other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported.
The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place,
removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the
correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chunk
size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into)
is reinitialised to the correct size.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
