This patch adds the ability to detect and manage GPU and Disk expansion bays, and either add their internal components into the device corresponding to the blade server, or into a dedicated device.

It takes advantage of the work made by @cyrinux on GPU bays management, and applies the same principle to the external disk bays, but harmonize the inventory management:

If no argument is specified on the command line, the GPU cards, RAID controllers and their attached disks are added in the blade device, and the device corresponding to an expansion device is deleted.
If the --expansion-as-device option is specified on the command line, a dedicated device corresponding to the expansion bay is created, and the GPUs, RAID card and attached disks are removed from the blade device and added to the expansion device.
