[PATCH blktests] README.md, check: require getconf

[Shin'ichiro Kawasaki]

Some test cases use the getconf command to query the page size that the
kernel supports (e.g. scsi/011, throtl/{002,003,007}, zbd/{010,014}).
Add getconf to the list of required commands so its absence is reported
clearly, and document it as a dependency in README.md.
