Richard W.M. Jones 07ba8b6d6b daemon: Refine check for Device and Dev_or_Path parameters (RHBZ#1477623). ...

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/...".
