This makes the size of flash 64 bit safe so that we can have flash
devices greater than 4GB. This is especially useful for mambo disks
passed through to Linux.
Fortunately the device tree interface and the linux device driver are
64bit safe so no changes are required there.
Userspace gard and flash tools are also updated to ensure "make check"
still passes.

If we had a truncated file where libflash would attempt to read past
the end, instead of erroring out, we'd get stuck in an infinite loop.
Why? Because we weren't acknowledging that read() returns 0 on EOF.

Currently the file backend will keep a file descriptor open until the
structure is destroyed. This is undesirable for daemons and long running
processes that only have a very occasional need to access the file. Keeping
the file open requires users of blocklevel to close and reinit their
structures every time, doing is isn't disastrous but can easily be
managed at the interface level.
This has been done at the blocklevel_device interface so as to provide
minimal changes to arch_flash_init().
At the moment there isn't a need for the actually flash driver to be able
to do this, this remains unimplmented there.

Currently libflash reads from files by using the dodgy file_flash.c which
implements a very flash hardware themed interface but subverts it to read,
write and erase from a file descriptor.
With the introduction of this file backend, this will no longer be needed.
