Partial support for raw devices

[johanneswuerbach]

I haven't checked, whether all kinds of volumes work, but virtual disk images do, which allows you to use sparse volumes now with xhyve.

Example:

hdiutil create  -megabytes 2000 -type SPARSEBUNDLE -fs "MS-DOS FAT32" -layout "MBRSPUD" test
hdiutil attach test.sparsebundle // Get disk number
xhyve ... -s 4:0,ahci-hd,/dev/rdiskN ...

Merged & tested in moby/hyperkit#76
