Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
Move the read_whole_file function to the common utilities of the daemon,
so other parts can use it. For this purpose, add an out parameter to
get the amount of bytes read.
Except from the parameter addition, this should be just refactoring.
For Device parameters we expect a block device name. However we were
only testing for "/dev/..." and so chardevs (from the appliance) could
be passed here, resulting in strange effects. This adds a function
is_device_parameter which tests for a valid block device name.
For Dev_or_Path parameters much the same, except we can also use the
is_device_parameter function elsewhere in the daemon to distinguish if
we were called with a device or path parameter. Previously we used a
simple test if the path begins with "/dev/...".
