-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.

the second sector by only clearing the amount of bytes needed for the
disklabel in the second sector. Previously we were clearing exactly 1
sector worth of bytes and as such writing over boot code that may have
been there.
Since we do support more than 8 partitions, make sure to set all fields
in d_partitions. For the first 8 partitions this is unneeded, but for
partitioons 9 and up this compensates for the fact that we don't clear
an entire sector anymore.
Obviously, one cannot use more than 8 partitions when using boot code
that starts right after the disk label.
Relevant GRNs:
107879 - Employ unused bytes after the disklabel in the second sector.
189500 - Revert the part of change 107879 that employs the unused bytes
after the disklabel in the 2nd sector for boot code.

1. Iterate over all partitions counted in the label, which can be more
than the number of partitions given to mkimg(1).
2. Start the checksum from the beginning of the label; not the beginning
of the bootarea.
Tested with bsdlabel(8).

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.
