ublk_drv: add SET_PARAMS/GET_PARAMS control command
Add two commands to set/get parameters generically. One important goal of ublk is to provide generic framework for making block device by userspace flexibly. As one generic block device, there are still lots of block parameters, such as max_sectors, write_cache/fua, discard related limits, zoned parameters, ...., so this patch starts to add generic mechanism for set/get device parameters. Both generic block parameters(all kinds of queue settings) and ublk feature parameters can be covered with this way, then it becomes quite easy to extend in future. Add two parameter types are used so far: basic(covers basic queue setting and misc settings which can't be grouped easily) and discard, basic type must be set, and discard type becomes optional now This way provides mechanism to simulate any kind of generic block device from userspace easily, from both block queue setting viewpoint or ublk feature viewpoint. The style of putting all parameters together is suggested by Christoph.
