Add metadata storage support for raw block device
This adds support for using raw partition or drive as the metadata
storage device. It implements partitioning schema to support
multiple metadata files and also allows for future extension.
Once the backend is connected to, it uses device mapper interface
to create the devices for all registered metadata files.
The underlying block device uses the following block based
structure. The first block on the device is meta block.
Each meta block (512B) contains:
4B signature (HEs0)
8B index of next meta block or 0 if this is the last one
64 bytes with service name (first byte equals the used length)
8B + 8B pointers to data section (start block, length)
... more data sections if needed
16B of 0 acting as a sentinel
4B CRC32 checksum
If there is need to use lots of data sections for a single service,
is is possible tp use the service name multiple times and the data
blocks will be concatenated using device mapper.
