The VHD spec [1] allows for total_sectors of 65535 x 16 x 255 (~127GB)
represented by a CHS geometry. If total_sectors is greater
than 65535 x 16 x 255 this geometry is set as a maximum.
Qemu, Hyper-V and disk2vhd use this special geometry as an indicator
to use the image current size from the footer as disk size.
This patch changes vpc_create to effectively calculate a CxHxS geometry
for the given image size if possible while rounding up if necessary.
If the image size is too big to be represented in CHS we set the maximum
and write the exact requested image size into the footer.
This partly reverts commit 258d2edb, but leaves support for >127G disks
intact.
