Add a 'serial' sysfs attribute for SCSI and SATA devices. This attribute
exposes the Unit Serial Number, which is derived from the Device
Identification Vital Product Data (VPD) page 0x80.
Whitespace is stripped from the retrieved serial number to handle the
different alignment (right-aligned for SCSI, potentially left-aligned for
SATA). As noted in SAT-5 10.5.3, "Although SPC-5 defines the PRODUCT SERIAL
NUMBER field as right-aligned, ACS-5 does not require its SERIAL NUMBER
field to be right-aligned. Therefore, right-alignment of the PRODUCT SERIAL
NUMBER field for the translation is not assured."
This attribute is used by tools such as lsblk to display the serial number
of block devices.
