[Libguestfs] [PATCH] New commands to list devices by UUID and label (updated patch)

A new version of this patch, previously posted here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-August/thread.html#00031

I've made some of the changes that Jim suggested, but I didn't fix the
error handling of readdir because that loop always reads from a tmpfs.
It didn't seem like there would realistically be any read errors(?)

These commands are compromised in their usefulness by a long-standing
LVM bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465691), which
means they won't list anything for LVM devices on Fedora.  They should
work on non-Fedora-derived platforms however.

Rich.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] New commands to list devices by UUID and label.

This patch has two new commands which make it much easier to look up
filesystems by their UUID or label.  They are:

list-devices-by-uuid
list-devices-by-label

Each returns a hashtable (or whatever the equivalent structure is in
your favourite programming language).

The keys of the hash are UUID or label.

The values are the filesystem device, eg. /dev/sda1 or /dev/VG/LV
