loop: support 4k physical blocksize
When generating bootable VM images certain systems (most notably s390x) require devices with 4k blocksize. This patch implements a new flag 'LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE' which will set the physical blocksize to that of the underlying device, and allow to change the logical blocksize for up to the physical blocksize.
