Remove the fixed size array of 16 request elements per file
descriptor and replace with the xarray added in the previous
patch. All sg_request objects are now kept, available for
re-use, until their owning file descriptor is closed. The
sg_request deletions are in sg_remove_sfp_usercontext().
Each active sg_request object has an associated block
request and a scsi_request object but they have different
lifetimes. The block request and the scsi_request object
are released much earlier; their lifetime is the same as it
was in the v3 sg driver. The lifetime of the bio is also the
same (but is stretched in a later patch).

Collect various flags into bit maps: one for requests
(SG_FRQ_*) and the other for file descriptors (SG_FFD_*).
They join a per sg_device bit map (SG_FDEV_*) added in an
earlier patch.

Prior to a new sg_request object being (re-)built, information
that will be placed in it uses a new struct sg_comm_wr_t
object.

Since the above changes touch almost every function and low
level structures, this patch is big.
