OK.  I've reworked it and tested the read-only parts.
I have *not* tested the aix_clobber change: no disposable
spindle handy right now.

        aix.c: Avoid memory overrun.  Don't assume logical sector size <= 512B
        * libparted/labels/aix.c (struct AixLabel): Remove definition.
        (aix_label_magic_get, aix_label_magic_set): New functions.
        (read_sector): New function.
        (aix_probe): Rewrite not to use the above, and not a static buffer.
        (aix_clobber): Likewise.
        Also, rather than PED_ASSERT'ing that aix_probe returns 1,
        simply return 0 if aix_probe returns fails.
        (ped_disk_aix_init): Remove assertion, now that AixLabel is gone.
