bdrv_replace_child_bs() swaps the node a BdrvChild points to without
telling the parent anything about it, so a parent which tracks the size of
its child never learns that it changed. Every other way the size of a node
changes goes through bdrv_co_truncate(), which does notify.

The device models which care all register the same BlockDevOps hook:

   virtio-blk  resize_cb = virtio_blk_resize(), ending up in
               virtio_notify_config()
   ide/ahci    resize_cb = ide_resize_cb(), refreshing the cached size
               and the IDENTIFY data
   scsi-disk   resize_cb = scsi_disk_resize_cb(), reporting
               CAPACITY DATA HAS CHANGED
   xen-block   resize_cb = xen_block_resize_cb()

Only scsi-disk is really hurt by the missing notification, because it is
the one which validates guest requests against a cached size.
virtio_blk_sect_range_ok() and ide_sect_range_ok() both call
blk_get_geometry() for every request, so a missing notification leaves
those guests with a stale idea of the size but never refuses I/O which the
node underneath can serve. check_lba_range() compares against
SCSIDevice.max_lba, filled in by scsi_disk_reset() and updated only by the
READ CAPACITY(10) and (16) handlers, so with nothing to make the guest
re-read the capacity every request past the end of the old node is refused
for the whole life of the device.

This is reachable with qom-set of the 'drive' property, which is allowed
on a realized device, and it is silent on the host: out-of-range requests
are answered by scsi_check_condition() and never reach
scsi_handle_rw_error(), so there is no BLOCK_IO_ERROR event and io-status
stays 'ok'. The guest sees ILLEGAL REQUEST / LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS OUT OF
RANGE, which Linux turns into EREMOTEIO for reads as well as writes.

Emit the notification from bdrv_replace_child_bs(), so that every device
model gets it through the path it already implements rather than any of
them being special cased. Send it only when the size really changed, which
keeps the callback out of the common case of a replacement by an equally
sized node.
