Since the previous patch added support for parsing the output of
the 'sendtargets' command, it is now trivial to support the
storage pool discovery API.
Given a hostname and optional portnumber and initiator IQN,
the code can return a full list of storage pool source docs,
each one representing a iSCSI target.

auto-discovery
The Linux iSCSI initiator toolchain has the dubious feature that
if you ever run the 'sendtargets' command to merely query what
targets are available from a server, the results will be recorded
in /var/lib/iscsi. Any time the '/etc/init.d/iscsi' script runs
in the future, it will then automatically login to all those
targets. /etc/init.d/iscsi is automatically run whenever a NIC
comes online.
So from the moment you ask a server what targets are available,
your client will forever more automatically try to login to all
targets without ever asking if you actually want it todo this.
To stop this stupid behaviour, we need to run
iscsiadm --portal $PORTAL --target $TARGET
--op update --name node.startup --value manual
For every target on the server.

for targets found as a result of a 'sendtargets' command
The following series of patches are adding significant
extra functionality to the iSCSI driver. THe current
internal helper methods are not sufficiently flexible
to cope with these changes. This patch refactors the
code to avoid needing to have a virStoragePoolObjPtr
instance as a parameter, instead passing individual
target, portal and initiatoriqn parameters.
It also removes hardcoding of port 3260 in the portal
address, instead using the XML value if any.

helper methods
Similarly to deprecating close(), I am now deprecating fclose() and
introduce VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE() and VIR_FCLOSE(). Also, fdopen() is replaced with
VIR_FDOPEN().
Most of the files are opened in read-only mode, so usage of
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() seemed appropriate. Others that are opened in write
mode already had the fclose()< 0 check and I converted those to
VIR_FCLOSE()< 0.
I did not find occurrences of possible double-closed files on the way.
Using automated replacement with sed and editing I have now replaced all
occurrences of close() with VIR_(FORCE_)CLOSE() except for one, of
course. Some replacements were straight forward, others I needed to pay
attention. I hope I payed attention in all the right places... Please
have a look. This should have at least solved one more double-close
error.
The virConnectPtr is no longer required for error reporting since
that is recorded in a thread local. Remove use of virConnectPtr
from all APIs in storage_conf.{h,c} and storage_encryption_conf.{h,c}
and update all callers to match
Allows the initiator to use a variety of IQNs rather than just the
system IQN when creating iSCSI pools.
* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng: extends the syntax with <iqn name="..."/>
* src/conf/storage_conf.[ch]: read and stores the iqn name
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.[ch]: implement the IQN selection
when detected
