[libvirt] [TCK PATCHv2] block devices: allow specification of size for safety

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.

Changes from v1:
+ perl is more idiomatic
+ guarantee that BLK is closed, even if sysseek failed
+ mention /dev/disk/by-id/ trick in default.cfg
