[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Fix problem generating partition names for multipath device

I've made further adjustments/changes and actually tested in a multipath
environment configured with the issue.

For these patches, rather than making a "general" flag for the pool,
I chose to add an attribute to the <source> 'device'. This way it was
much more clear what the attribute was affecting.

Additionally, it turned out that the issue was showing up for both
'user_friendly_names' and for custom 'alias' name entries in the
/etc/multipath.conf file so rather than being a user_friendly_name
type flag - I just chose to specific state what it was - a way to
not have the partition separator flag "p" added to the generated name.
Also it was a bit more difficult to describe the use of the flag
especially when it was so specific to one backing store type.
