block: add block_resize monitor command
Add a monitor command that allows resizing of block devices while qemu is running. It uses the existing bdrv_truncate method already used by qemu-img to do it's work. Compared to qemu-img the size parsing is very simplicistic, but I think having a properly numering object is more useful for non-humand monitor users than having the units and relative resize parsing. For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by doing the following shell command: echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan For ATA devices I don't know of a way to update the block device size in Linux system, and for virtio-blk the next two patches will provide an automatic update of the size when this command is issued on the host.
