Build on existing scsi_cdb_extended_copy() functionality. This operation
can be used to offload inter and intra LU copies to the target.
The API is rather primitive, in that the caller needs to construct the
parameter buffer, including CSCD and segment descriptor lists, etc.

iscsi-command: Adding new functions for all write operations (WRITE10,
WRITE12, WRITE16, WRITEOR, etc') for cases where the user wants
to pass his own io vectors (prevent memcpy).
new functions are called iscsi_write*_iov_task and looks
very similar to the iscsi_write*_task, only they get
scsi_iovec pointer and number of scsi_iovec as
parameters.

lib/init: initializing connection transport
lib/socket: Adding function to initialize tcp transport.
future commits will include adding iSER transport layer,
so each transport option will has it's own template of functions.
all_utils: All utils stay the same, in future iSER commits in case of
iSER transport we will override tcp_transport in
iscsi_context.

Normal applications want the current behaviour where we have the library
consume any/all of the UnitAttentions that the target may have queued on the
initial connection, but when we reconnect the session after a failure the
library will pass all the UAs back to the application to process.
Some applications, such as the test suite or really trivial applications
might not want to have to deal with handling of UAs and just "make it work".
Those applications can now request that upon any reconnection of the session
that libiscsi will automatically consume any and all UAs and hide them from
the application.

Default to 0 meaning no timeout.
Implement a test for iSCS to test what happens if we send a command
with CMDSN being higher than the target allows.
In this case we dont strictly know what will happen, just that what should
NOT happen is the target responding with success.
But we have to be prepared for any kind of failure, including a timeout,
scsi sense, or even iscsi reject or session failure.
This patch adds the abilitiy to libiscsi to count the number
of consecutive outstanding NOPs.
With this ability its fairly easy to implement a keepalive
check with NOPs in your application.
Periodically (e.g. every 5 secs) create a NOP-Out with:
iscsi_nop_out_async(iscsi, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL);
At that time check the number of consecutive missing NOP-Ins
with
iscsi_get_nops_in_flight(iscsi) > N.
Where N is the number of missing NOP-Ins you will allow.
Please note that it is legitime for the Target to ignore
a NOP if the load is very high as those packet are mark
as IMMEDIATE.

If an application passes buffers to libiscsi for reading they are
currently added to a linked list one by one. This leads to a malloc
for each buffer object plus O(n) walks trough the list to add
the buffer to then end of the list. Additionally the buffer read
routine takes up to O(n) iterations to find the right buffer
for a request.
This patch introduces an scsi_iovector struct to pass buffers to
an scsi task. Adding a new buffer is in O(1) and finding the
right buffer to also. Malloc requirements are in O(log(n)).
Additionally the scsi_iovector struct is itended to be binary
compatible to an QEMUIOVector allowing to pass this structure
directly to the library.
Initial tests have been made booting an Ubuntu LTS 12.04.1
Desktop server up to the login prompt. The following observations
have been made with regards to scsi_malloc calls:
original implementation: ~11.500 mallocs
using iovector instead of list: ~ 7.500 mallocs
passing the iovector directly: 0 mallocs
To enable this feature in qemu for testing the following patch might
be used:

The memory tracking code reports memory allocated by iscsi_allocate_pdu_with_itt_flags_size() as lost.
This memory is allocated by the iscsi part of libiscsi, but later freed by the lowlevel scsi part. We
will fix this later by introducing an iscsi_task object.
These two functions belong in the iscsi layer, not the scsi layer so move them
out from scsi-lowlevel.c so that we can start turning scsi-lowlevel.c to a pure
scsi layer and remove all dependencies to iscsi from it.
DPRINTF was blindly sending all debug output to fd 2 (stderr).
The new function iscsi_set_debug_fd() will set the debug fd.
In general debugging is completely disabled by default.
This patch adds support for setting TCP_SYNCNT to overwrite
the system default values. This allows indirect support
for a configurable connect timeout.
Linux uses a exponential backoff for SYN retries starting
with 1 second.
This means for a value n for TCP_SYNCNT, the connect will
effectively timeout after 2^(n+1)-1 seconds.
