vdev_id: new slot type ses
This extends vdev_id to support a new slot type, ses, for SCSI Enclosure
Services. With slot type ses, the disk slot numbers are determined by
using the device slot number reported by sg_ses for the device with
matching SAS address, found by querying all available enclosures.
This is primarily of use on systems with a deficient driver omitting
support for bay_identifier in /sys/devices. In my testing, I found that
the existing slot types of port and id were not stable across disk
replacement, so an alternative was required.
