libvirt: Refactor ISCSIDriver to support other iSCSI transports besides TCP

Registered by Shlomi Sasson

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "libvirt: Refactor ISCSIDriver to support other iSCSI transports besides TCP" for updated plans.

On the initiator side the only difference between TCP and RDMA is in the interface flag (--interface=[iface])
e.g. "iscsiadm -m discoverydb -t st -p ip:port -I iser --discover"

The required changes are:
1. Add a parameter called "default_rdma" (default to false) to enable initiator side.
The operation that "default_rdma" would mean try RDMA and if it fails fall back to TCP, to simplify operations.
2. The existing ISER code will be removed.
