Seth Howell f8433aad23 rpc/nvmf: add tgt_name options to relevant RPCs. 
All of the RPCs in lib/nvmf/nvmf_rpc.c rely on knowing which nvmf_tgt
they should work with. They have historically relied on the assumption
that there will only be a single target in a given application. This is
true for the example application in the spdk repo, but it is not
necessarily true generally,

By adding an option tgt_name parameter to the RPCs we enable them for
multi-target NVMe-oF applications. We also further reduce the coupling
between the library and the example application.

# JSON-RPC Methods {#jsonrpc}
# Overview {#jsonrpc_overview}
SPDK implements a [JSON-RPC 2.0](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) server
to allow external management tools to dynamically configure SPDK components.
## Parameters
Most of the commands can take parameters. If present, parameter is validated against its domain. If this check fail
whole command will fail with response error message [Invalid params](@ref jsonrpc_error_message).
### Required parameters
These parameters are mandatory. If any required parameter is missing RPC command will fail with proper error response.
### Optional parameters
Those parameters might be omitted. If an optional parameter is present it must be valid otherwise command will fail
proper error response.
## Error response message {#jsonrpc_error_message}
Each error response will contain proper message. As much as possible the message should indicate what went wrong during
command processing.
There is ongoing effort to customize this messages but some RPC methods just return "Invalid parameters" as message body
for any kind of error.
Code | Description
------ | -----------
-1 | Invalid state - given method exists but it is not callable in [current runtime state](@ref rpc_start_subsystem_init)
-32600 | Invalid request - not compliant with JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification
-32601 | Method not found
-32602 | @ref jsonrpc_invalid_params
-32603 | Internal error for e.g.: errors like out of memory
-32700 | @ref jsonrpc_parser_error
### Parser error {#jsonrpc_parser_error}
Encountered some error during parsing request like:
- the JSON object is malformed
- parameter is too long
- request is too long
### Invalid params {#jsonrpc_invalid_params}
This type of error is most common one. It mean that there is an error while processing the request like:
- Parameters decoding in RPC method handler failed because required parameter is missing.
- Unknown parameter present encountered.
- Parameter type doesn't match expected type e.g.: given number when expected a string.
- Parameter domain check failed.
- Request is valid but some other error occurred during processing request. If possible message explains the error reason nature.

## construct_rbd_bdev {#rpc_construct_rbd_bdev}

practice, "mon_host" (= list of monitor address+port) and "key" (= the
secret key stored in Ceph keyrings) are enough.
When accessing the image as some user other than "admin" (the
default), the "user_id" has to be set.

# Vhost Target {#jsonrpc_components_vhost_tgt}
The following common preconditions need to be met in all target types.
Controller name will be used to create UNIX domain socket. This implies that name concatenated with vhost socket
directory path needs to be valid UNIX socket name.
@ref cpu_mask parameter is used to choose CPU on which pollers will be launched when new initiator is connecting.
It must be a subset of application CPU mask. Default value is CPU mask of the application.
## set_vhost_controller_coalescing {#rpc_set_vhost_controller_coalescing}
Controls interrupt coalescing for specific target. Because `delay_base_us` is used to calculate delay in CPU ticks
there is no hardcoded limit for this parameter. Only limitation is that final delay in CPU ticks might not overflow
32 bit unsigned integer (which is more than 1s @ 4GHz CPU). In real scenarios `delay_base_us` should be much lower
than 150us. To disable coalescing set `delay_base_us` to 0.
### Parameters
Name | Optional | Type | Description
----------------------- | -------- | ----------- | -----------
ctrlr | Required | string | Controller name
delay_base_us | Required | number | Base (minimum) coalescing time in microseconds
iops_threshold | Required | number | Coalescing activation level greater than 0 in IO per second
### Example
Example request:
~~~
{
"params": {
"iops_threshold": 100000,

# Logical Volume {#jsonrpc_components_lvol}
Identification of logical volume store and logical volume is explained first.
A logical volume store has a UUID and a name for its identification.
The UUID is generated on creation and it can be used as a unique identifier.
The name is specified on creation and can be renamed.
Either UUID or name is used to access logical volume store in RPCs.
A logical volume has a UUID and a name for its identification.
