New API: lvm-canonical-lv-name: make LV name canonical.

When logical volume names appear in places like /etc/fstab
files they can have the form "/dev/mapper/foo-bar".  This
function takes such names and makes them canonical.

Note that this operation cannot be performed using the current
API, because 'guestfs_stat' does not work on device names, and
we don't really want to make a 'stat-device' call since that
exposes too much non-useful detail about the appliance.

With this patch you can do this:
