erofs: support flattened block device for multi-blob images
In order to support mounting multi-blobs container image as a single block device, add flattened block device feature for EROFS. In this mode, all meta/data contents will be mapped into one block space. User could compose a block device(by nbd/ublk/virtio-blk/ vhost-user-blk) from multiple sources and mount the block device by EROFS directly. It can reduce the number of block devices used, and it's also benefits in both VM file passthrough and distributed storage scenarios. You can test this using the method mentioned by: https://github.com/dragonflyoss/image-service/pull/1139 1. Compose a (nbd)block device from multi-blobs. 2. Mount EROFS on mntdir/. 3. Compare the md5sum between source dir and mntdir/. Later, we could also use it to refer original tar blobs.
