Changed the syntax from "pci_add drive" to "pci_add storage".
However I'm keeping the possibility of adding a drive to a storage
controller before it is hotplugged for two reasons:
- SCSI drive hotplug is not automatic (at least with the sym53c8xx
controller that is emulated). Its necessary to manually add the drive
in the guest OS.
- Each virtio-block device is currently tied to a single valid
file/device.
A new "drive_add" command has been added to hot-add drives to SCSI
controllers.
