[PATCH v2] mkfs: support block map for blob devices

Currently, using --blobdev to specify an extra device is restricted
from working with the block map chunk format. This was previously
noted as a task that could be implemented by mapping the device
blocks using a global address.
This patch implements this support by allowing the block map to
reference chunks residing on extra devices. This is achieved by:
1) Removing the -EINVAL check in mkfs/main.c.
2) Calculating the global startblk address for the block map by
summing the blocks of the primary device and preceding devices.
3) Ensuring EROFS_CHUNK_FORMAT_INDEXES is only set if the user
has not forced the block map format.
4) Updating erofs_inode_fixup_chunkformat to error out if the
mapped address exceeds UINT32_MAX, as block maps cannot
support 48-bit addressing.
In addition, erofs_map_dev() is updated to correctly identify the
device ID when a global block address is used with block maps,
enabling userspace tools to read these images.
