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.
