[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/2] blkls API to extract unallocated blocks

The blkls API downloads on the host a range of unallocated blocks on the virtual disk image.
This allows to recover deleted data on filesystems where icat fails.

Example:

guestfish --ro -a /home/noxdafox/ubuntu.qcow2

><fs> run
><fs> mount /dev/sda1 /
><fs> write /test.txt "$foo$bar$"
><fs> rm /test.txt
><fs> umount /
><fs> blkls /dev/sda1 0 8192 blocks.bin

$ strings -t d blocks.bin
 516096 $foo$bar$
