feat(LargeBlock): introduce largeblocksr

A SR inheriting from a EXTSR allowing to use a 4KiB blocksize device as
SR.
Create a 512 bytes loop device on top of a 4KiB device then give it to
EXTSR code.
It uses the same device-config as a normal local SR, i.e.
`device-config:device=/dev/nvme0n1`

After creation, the driver find the device under the VG to identify the
correct disk.
It means that creating the SR with a non-stable disk identifier is
doable and it will work as EXTSR would by ignoring the device-config
after creation.
Identifying the correct disk by using LVM infos.

The VG is created using a different prefix name from EXTSR.
It is `XSLocalLargeBlock-<SR UUID>`.

The SR artificially limits the creation to disk not being 512b.
It will throw an error if a disk whose blocksize is 512 is given.

We currently don't support multi devices, it fails at the EXTSR creation.

Sometimes the pvremove from EXTSR using the loop device fails.
In this case, we need to remove the real device from PV list ourself in
the error handling.
