originally NOPs where used to detect failures in the transport
layer. This is e.g. implemented in qemu since a few years now.
Recently I found a few vServers with hanging I/O where
the NOP mechanism could not detect the error.
The reason is most likely due to a bug in the target,
however if NOPs increase the CmdSN this could help
to detect such failures. If there are requests hanging
and the OS stops I/O before CmdSN > MaxCmdSN we can currently
send NOPs forever and they might still be answered. If
a NOP increases the CmdSN we will enter a point where CmdSN
is greater than MaxCmdSN. This is, of course, not the ideal check,
but it might detect some types of errors. Ideally we would
send out a Test-Unit-Ready command with attr=ordered, but
that requires a new API and/or modification of the tool
that uses libiscsi. This here comes with no modification for
the userspace.

iscsi-ls show luns command does not work when the target redirects at login.
to avoid redundant code allow iscsi_full_connect_async to skip the testunit ready
part.

We allowed iscsi to be NULL in iscsi_parse_url. Especially
qemu does this and currently segfaults at start. Change the
usage guidelines for target username/password to be the same
as for chap username/password.

Don't reset nalloc when resetting an iovector during reconnect.
Resetting offset/consumed should be sufficient.
Also, don't reset the iovectors when we detect an error condition in
iscsi_iovector_readv_writev. If there is a bug feeding an invalid
pos into this function, where pos suddently points before the amount
of data we have already read/written, then singlan this as an error
and return -EINVAL.
Previosly we did not reset the iovectors correctly when we re-queued
PDUs after a reconnect and thus relied on the iovectors being automatically
reset if/when we detected this type of error in readv_writev.
Now we do reset the iovectors properly so we do nt need to atuo reset them
here anymore and we can change this check to test for and abort the transfer
if an error is detected.

When building on a host with installed libtool, some files are generated
which should be ignored by git:

The variable user in struct iscsi_url is a character array, not a pointer.
Therefore its address will never be NULL.
When libscsi is built using clang instead of gcc, those errors are reported:
iscsi-perf.c:256:17: error:
comparison of array 'iscsi_url->user' not equal to a null
pointer is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
iscsi-dd.c:272:17: error:
comparison of array 'iscsi_url->user' not equal to a null
pointer is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
iscsi-dd.c:331:17: error:
comparison of array 'iscsi_url->user' not equal to a null
pointer is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
ld_iscsi.c:99:18: error:
comparison of array 'iscsi_url->user' not equal to a null
pointer is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
Fix those errors and also similar code patterns in aros/iscsi-ls.c and
test-tool/iscsi-support.c.

Clang whinges about an empty loop body when it sees code like
while (i = 0; i++; i < 2);
but in test_preventallow_*.c this looks intentional, so move the
semi-colon to a line of its own to make clang happy.

Compiling with clang gives a format warning like
iscsi-perf.c:98:53: error: format specifies type 'unsigned long' but the
argument has type 'uint64_t' (aka 'unsigned long long')
[-Werror,-Wformat]
so replace %lu with %llu where appropriate.

The only PDU type that does not have ISCSI_PDU_DROP_ON_RECONNECT is the
SCSI COMMAND PDU. Thsi is the only PDU that we re-queue on reconnect.
All other, including DATA-OUT, NOP, task management, PDUs are simply
dropped.

This is a bug that has been there a long time.
When we reconnect and requeue a PDU we must reset the iovectors
for the task. Otherwise, any partially sent/received data when the
command is reconnected would end up containing garbage.

Rework the reconnect logic so we just call iscsi_scsi_command_async()
for the scsi commands we are re-quining instead of poking into the
private fields of the structures themself.

We no longer need to modify pdu->flags directly any more from
iscsi_logout_async_internal. We can just pass these as extra flags to
iscsi_allocate_pdu().
We also always set ISCSI_PDU_DROP_ON_RECONNECT unconditionally so there is
no need to pass this flag in from the callers in pdu.c .

Remove iscsi_allocate_pdu() which is just a wrapper.
Rename iscsi_allocate_pdu_with_itt_flags() to iscsi_allocate_pdu()
and update all callers.
This only removes a wrapper function and contains no logic changes.

the recent implementation allows to send
iscsi->first_burst_length + iscsi->target_max_recv_data_segment_length
bytes if immediate and unsolicited data-out is send and
iscsi->target_max_recv_data_segment_length < iscsi->first_burst_length.
RFC3720 defines the length as:
Length=(min(FirstBurstLength, Expected Data
Transfer Length) - Received Immediate Data Length).
so that immediate data and unsolicited data-out are together
FirstBurstLength at maximum.

We write unsolicited data-out PDUs from two places;
when we originally write the command in iscsi_scsi_command_async()
but also when we re-queue the PDUs during a session reconnect.
The re-queuing during the session re-connect was recently (almost) fixed
but was still buggy in that it did not correctly clamp the amount of written
data as per first burst length restriction.
This attempts to fix that.
