Have storage building functions be definitions of
virStorageBackendBuildVolFrom: we will need to do this in the future anyways
if we ever support the flags attribute.
There is some funkiness here, since we are either dealing with 2 different
pools (which means validation x 2) or the same pool, where we have to be
careful not to deadlock.

really should be synchronizing against udev. This is generally done by a call
to udevsettle, which is exactly what this patch implements for the storage
backends that are likely to create new /dev nodes. I believe I've read that
even after udevsettle, you are not guaranteed that devices are all the way
created, so we still need the polling in the rest of the sources, but this
should give us a much better chance of things existing as we expect.

ability to resolve any kind of volume path to the pool target volume
path. For instance, if the pool was defined with a
<target><path>/dev/disk/by-id</path></target> section, and one of the
volumes is /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-S_beaf11, then you would be able to
call virStorageVolLookupByPath("/dev/sdc"), and get the correct volume
back.

cleanup patch, add a ".defaultFormat" member to .poolOptions. In
storage_conf.c, if virXPathString(/pool/source/format/@type) returns NULL, then
set the pool type to .defaultFormat; otherwise, lookup the type via
formatFromString.

iSCSI volumes. This is implemented in the
virStorageBackendUpdateVolInfoFD function, so all future callers will
automatically benefit. This is a somewhat large patch because the
conversion of the virStorageBackendPartTableTypeToString necessitated
a change to the formatToString and formatFromString function pointers,
which caused fallout in other places in the storage stuff. The good
news is that most of these callers are now converted over to the
VIR_ENUM_IMPL, which means a lot of redundant code is now gone.

*not* virStorageReportError() if the fork()/exec() process it spawned returned a
!= 0 exit code. Rather, it returns the exitcode in this case, and it is up to
the higher level to determine whether this is a fatal error or not. The use
case for this change is in the iSCSI stuff; older versions of iscsiadm tools
would return a failure when getting the session number, despite the command
succeeding.
