Proper support of persistent reservation for multipath devices requires
communication with the multipath daemon, so that the reservation is
registered and applied when a path comes up. The device mapper
utilities provide a library to do so; this patch makes qemu-pr-helper.c
detect multipath devices and, when one is found, delegate the operation
to libmpathpersist.

util/scsi.c includes some SCSI code that is shared by block/iscsi.c and
hw/scsi, but the introduction of the persistent reservation helper
will add many more instances of this. There is also include/block/scsi.h,
which actually is not part of the core block layer.
The persistent reservation manager will also need a home. A scsi/
directory provides one for both the aforementioned shared code and
the PR manager code.
