-T (track size) or -H (number of heads) is given:
o scheme_metadata() always rounded to the block size. This is not
always valid (e.g. vtoc8 that must have partitions start at cylinder
boundaries).
o The bsd and vtoc8 schemes "resized" the image to make it match the
geometry, but since the geometry is an approximation and the size
of the image computed from cylinders * heads * sectors is always
smaller than the original image size, the partition information ran
out of bounds.
The fix is to have scheme_metadata() simply pass it's arguments to the
per-scheme metadata callback, so that schemes not only know where the
metadata is to go, but also what the current block address is. It's now
up to the per-scheme callback to reserve room for metadata and to make
sure alignment and rounding is applied.
The BSD scheme now has the most elaborate alignment and rounding. Just
to make the point: partitions are aligned on block boundaries, but the
image is rounded to the next cyclinder boundary.
vtoc8 now properly has all partitions aligned (and rounded) to the
cyclinder boundary.

Add support for different output formats:
1. The output file that was previously written is now called the raw format.
2. Add the vmdk output format to create VMDK images.
When the format is not given, the raw output format is assumed.
sector granularity for both offset and length. Have all schemes
use mkimg_write() instead of mkimg_seek() followed by write(2).
Now that schemes don't use lseek(2) nor write(2) directly, it's
easier to support output formats other than raw disks.
