On mac partition tables which specify a sector size larger than the
physical sector size, we need to reallocate the buffer after we
determine the correct sector size.

This appears to be a normal condition on disks in the wild that are>2TB
and use Mac partition tables (for example, the rescue image for the
MacBookAir3,1), so also don't raise an exception in _disk_analyse_block_size()
when we find that.

This paragraph is wrong.  I'll send a reply with a corrected patch.

Also simplify the code in _disk_analyse_block_size() a bit since there's
no reason to ever do the byteswapping more than once or convert everything to
512-byte multiples since we neither load nor store it that way.
