Replace assert() with ublk_assert() since it is often triggered in daemon,
and we may get nothing shown in terminal.
Add ublk_assert(), so we can log something to syslog when assert() is
triggered.

A subsequent commit will add support for using a backing file to store
integrity data. Since integrity data is accessed in intervals of
metadata_size, which may be much smaller than a logical block on the
backing device, direct I/O cannot be used. Add an argument to
backing_file_tgt_init() to specify the number of files to open for
direct I/O. The remaining files will use buffered I/O. For now, continue
to request direct I/O for all the files.
