In order to provide generic "discard" function for all e2fsprogs tools
add a discard function prototype into struct_io_manager. Specific
function for specific io managers can be crated that way.
This commit also creates unix_discard function which uses BLKDISCARD
ioctl to discard data blocks on the block device and bind it into
unit_io_manager structure to be available for all e2fsprogs tools.
Note that BLKDISCARD is still Linux specific ioctl, however other
unix systems may provide similar functionality. So far the
unix_discard() remains linux specific hence is embedded in #ifdef
__linux__ macro.

Provide a C language wrapper function for io_channel_read_blk64() and
io_channel_write_blk64() instead of using a C preprocessor macro, with
an fallback to the old 32-bit functions if an application-provided I/O
channel manager doesn't supply 64-bit method functions and the block
numbers can fit in 32-bit integer.

example, /tmp/test.img?offset=1024. Multiple options can separated using
the & character, although at the moment the only option implemented is
the offset option in the unix_io layer.
