mjacob 41194c0e70 Add a bunch of stuff from Bob Nestor that fixes format to allow one to
specify device logical blocksize.

Furthermore, it also adds an 'immediate' option, which then sends more modern
devices into formatting in the background. scsictl still waits around and
sends a TEST UNIT READY every 10 seconds and, based upon the sense data
it gets back after the invariable CHECK CONDITION, prints out a progress
indicator (based upon SKSV progress in the sense data).

While we're at it, add a 'tur', 'reserve', 'release', 'start' and 'stop'
functions to the device commands.

Fix a long standing bug in scsi_command- the value in retsts is an integral
value- not a bitmask.

supports:

Devices: identify, reassign blocks, reset

Busses: reset, scan for devices

Coming soon, device formatting, mode page editing, device freeze/thaw, etc.
