Need interface to extract information about disk abstraction, to read disk or partition size depending on the provided argument and adjust disk size based on information in partition table. The disk handle from disk_open() has d_offset field to point to partition start. So we can use this fact to return either whole disk size or partition size. For this we only need to record partition size we get from disk_open() anyhow. In addition, this will also make it possible to adjust the disk media size based on information from partition table. The problem with disk size is about some BIOS systems reporting bogus disk size for 2+TB disks, but since such disks are using GPT partitioning, and GPT does have information about disk size (alternate LBA + 1), we can use this fact to record disk size based on partition table. This patch does exactly this: implements DIOCGSECTORSIZE and DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl, and DIOCGMEDIASIZE will report either disk media size or partition size. Adds ptable_getsize() call to read partition size in bytes from ptable pointer. Updates disk_open() to use ptable_getsize() to update mediasize value. Implements GPT detection function to update ptable size (used by ptable_getsize()) according to alternate lba (which is location of backup copy of GPT header table).
