[vbox-dev] VDCopy() fix for VHD

[Huihong Luo]

after the fix, VHD->VMDk seems to be working fine, but VHD->VDI still not working, the generated vdi disk throws invalid header error.

Can you guys add the following code to function VDCopy() in VBoxHDD.cpp? right before VDCreateBase() is called. 
 
It resets the geometry if cSectors > 63, VHD disk somehow has more than 63 sectors.
 
 
    /* vmlite, fix converting error from VHD */
    if (PCHSGeometryFrom.cHeads > 16 || PCHSGeometryFrom.cSectors > 63)
    {
     Assert(RT_MIN(cbSize / 512 / 16 / 63, 16383) -
        (unsigned int)RT_MIN(cbSize / 512 / 16 / 63, 16383) == 0);  
     PCHSGeometryFrom.cCylinders = (unsigned int)RT_MIN(cbSize / 512 / 16 / 63, 16383);
     PCHSGeometryFrom.cHeads = 16;
     PCHSGeometryFrom.cSectors = 63;
    }
    /* vmlite */
                rc = VDCreateBase(pDiskTo, pszBackend, pszFilename, cbSize,
                                  uImageFlags, szComment,
                                  &PCHSGeometryFrom, &LCHSGeometryFrom,
                                  NULL, uOpenFlagsFrom & ~VD_OPEN_FLAGS_READONLY, NULL, NULL);
                if (RT_SUCCESS(rc) && !RTUuidIsNull(&ImageUuid))
                     pDiskTo->pLast->Backend->pfnSetUuid(pDiskTo->pLast->pvBackendData, &ImageUuid);
                if (RT_SUCCESS(rc) && !RTUuidIsNull(&ParentUuid))
                     pDiskTo->pLast->Backend->pfnSetParentUuid(pDiskTo->pLast->pvBackendData, &ParentUuid);
