When creating new block encryption volumes, we accept a list of
parameters to control the formatting process. It is useful to
be able to query what those parameters were for existing block
devices. Add a qcrypto_block_get_info() method which returns a
QCryptoBlockInfo instance to report this data.

Add a generic framework for supporting different block encryption
formats. Upon instantiating a QCryptoBlock object, it will read
the encryption header and extract the encryption keys. It is
then possible to call methods to encrypt/decrypt data buffers.
There is also a mode whereby it will create/initialize a new
encryption header on a previously unformatted volume.
The initial framework comes with support for the legacy QCow
AES based encryption. This enables code in the QCow driver to
be consolidated later.
