blobserver: simplify interface more, add NewMultiBlobStreamer, storagetest func

This is round two of simplifying the BlobStreamer interface. The
continuation tokens are now sent per-item. This permits the following
item (NewMultiBlobStreamer) but also simplifies the return value (only
returns an error now) and permits the use of buffered channels as the
destination without getting out of sync.

The new NewMultiBlobStreamer is like io.MultiReader, but for
BlobStreamers, letting them be stitched together. This will be used by
the blobpacked storage layer to simplify its code, so it doesn't need
to deal with the handoff between loose and packed blobs itself.  This
MultiBlobStreamer needs a 1 element buffer, which wasn't compatible
with the old BlobStreamer interface, hence the change to include the
continuation tokens with the blob on the channel.

Finally, add a new storagetest function for testing any blobstreamer
and use it for NewMultiBlobStreamer, diskpacked, and later in
blobpacked.

Updates #532
