Floppy disk images are potentially used as a medium of data exchange
between some hosts and simulators and the disk information can confuse
this process.
As discussed in #847
This implements the principle of "least surprise", in that users won't
normally expect to start overwriting an existing file on these devices.
Real hardware didn't behave that way. A new (empty) file can always
be created with the -N switch on the ATTACH.

delta time computation converting the difference between two timespec
structures values to milliseconds previously truncated the difference which,
depending on the value of when the starting value in the delta happened,
along with when an OS clock tick occurred, may have resulted in a small
delta and an apparent sleep time of 0. A more accurate result is produced
when the conversion from nanoseconds to milliseconds is rounded up
before the usecs/nsecs are truncated.

- Fail ATTACH when container type doesn't match drive type and autosizing
is disabled.
- Be sure to write data at the end of a VHD container right up to the end of
the disk.
Removed DEV_NET and fixed DEV_type on various devices.
Support for 64 lines on KL10 FE by default.
Fixed support for 32 lines on DC10.
Support for TYPE 340 Display undocumented functions.
- Added rigorous disk test routine to exercise all supported disk container
formats with various sector sizes and storage element sizes
- Extended logic to validate disk container simulated device consistency
with the simulator and/or controller accessing it.
- Previously invoking a simulator with -T was the only way to invoke the
library tests for ALL devices. That still works now with the additional
flexibility to invoke a specific device's test from the sim> prompt.
- Adding TESTLIB help text encountered a maximum constant string length
limit in the C compiler. Reworked to allow multiple strings which are then
concatenated on the first HELP command invocation.
- Make all PDP11, VAX RP and RQ devices autosizing behave similarly
- Generalize the attach help to be specific to the device/system being
attached
- Remove the sim_disk_pdp10_* calls which weren't correct or needed
since sim_disk_attach_ex provides sector size which is used correctly
