iscsi: Handle large Text responses.

Description

iscsi: Handle large Text responses.

Text requests and responses can span multiple PDUs. In that case, the
sender sets the Continue bit in non-final PDUs and the Final bit in
the last PDU. The receiver responds to non-final PDUs with an empty
text PDU.

To support this, add a more abstract API in libiscsi which accepts and
receives key sets rather than PDUs. These routines internally send or
receive one or more PDUs. Use these new functions to replace the
handling of TextRequest and TextResponse PDUs in discovery sessions in
both ctld and iscsid.

Note that there is not currently a use case for large Text requests
and those are still always sent as a single PDU. However, discovery
sessions can return a text response listing targets that spans
multiple PDUs, so the new API supports sending and receiving multi-PDU
responses.
