Our first operation is generating sizes for various caller-allocated
buffers. The WithSizes function "suggests" sizes to an anonymous
function that takes a size as an argument and returns a hint how
sucessful the attempt was. If required the same function is called
again with a larger size. Errors and other results of that anonymous
function are "communicated" with variables of the surrounding scope
in wich the function is defined.

Moving the errutil pkg to "internal/errutil" makes errutil private-like
and accessible to only other go-ceph packages. The functions it provided
were always meant to be used only by go-ceph, this just makes it more
official. This is a breaking change but it was only available to
outside users for 1 release and it is somewhat doubtful users outside
of go-ceph would have reached for these functions.

As per the Go Wiki page on cgo [1] passing callback with data between C
and Go is non-trivial due to the pointer passing rules [2]. This change
creates a new helper type, based on the examples on the wiki, that uses
opaque indexes to exchange between C and Go.
For now, this type is simple as we're only going to have a few callbacks
initially but this could easily be improved and made more general in the
future as needed. Because we anticipate having to use this type in all
of our core packages (rados and cephfs as well as rbd) we are creating
the type in an "internal" package so that we don't treat the new type
as public despite the capitalized method names.
