[libvirt] [PATCH v3] Improve SCSI volume key generation

[Daniel P. Berrange]

The SCSI volumes get a better 'key' field based on the fully
qualified volume path. All SCSI volumes have a unique serial
available in hardware which can be obtained by sending a
suitable SCSI command. Call out to udev's 'scsi_id' command
to fetch this value

In v3:
 
 - Use virCommandSetOutputBuffer/virCommandRun instead
   of VIR_FDOPEN
 - Skip serial if it matches empty string

* src/storage/storage_backend_scsi.c: Improve volume key
  field value stability and uniqueness
