[PATCH v3 02/17] block: use int64_t as bytes type in tracked requests

We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters on all io paths. Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk. We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and with
