Daniel Hilst 506069061b fix(xcat-core): a match made elsewhere can name a KVM volume
The name of the volume of a node, and the bus of a file-backed disk, could come from a
match made by a routine on the call path. A riscv64 node breaks on it: a leaked value
that is neither scsi nor virtio gives the node an hd* volume, and the riscv64 virt
machine has no IDE controller for that disk.

createstorage and build_diskstruct in xCAT-server/lib/xcat/plugins/kvm.pm read the model
of the disk out of the vmstorage value with s/=(.*)//, then read $1. The substitution is
allowed to fail, because most vmstorage values state no model, and a failed match leaves
$1 as the last successful capture. dohyp gives every node the storage model scsi before
mkvm runs, and a captured value takes priority over it, so a leaked value can only
replace the default that keeps a riscv64 node on sd*.

The leak follows the call path, not the history of the process. Perl restores $1 when the
block that set it ends, so a match made in a routine that has returned cannot reach
createstorage; only a match still live in an enclosing block can, and a later successful
match without a group empties $1 again. A long-running xcatd is not what makes this
happen, and looking for one is a wrong turn.

Both routines now read $1 only when their own substitution matches. A vmstorage value
that states a model, and vmstoragemodel, name the volume as before.

The default itself moves into default_storagemodel, which dohyp calls, so a test can hold
it. It sat inline with a comment, and changing it to ide left every assertion passing.

kvm_createstorage_model.t runs each node twice, once with a capture left live in the
calling block, because a case that leaves $1 empty passes against the defect. Five of its
eleven assertions fail without this change, and a sixth fails if the default changes.
