[TCK PATCHv4] block devices: allow specification of size for safety

[Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was getting failures of domain/103-blockdev-save-restore.t when
connecting as qemu:///session, since my uid could stat /dev/sdb but
not open it.  That test now skips for unprivileged users, as well as
adds a layer of sanity checking against expected size to avoid
trashing the wrong device.

* conf/default.cfg (host_block_devices): Document optional size.
* lib/Sys/Virt/TCK.pm (get_host_block_device): If optional size is
supplied, skip a device that does not match.  Also, avoid devices
that can't be opened.

Thanks again to Jim and Daniel for the helpful feedback.
Here's the version I actually pushed, based on your feedback.

changes from v3:
completely determine $device before moving on to $kb_blocks
early exit if $device is undef after querying cfg file
reduce scope of $match
