Gleb Chesnokov 9a45498bc7 iscsi-scst: Document current administration interfaces
The iSCSI READMEs, HOWTO and man pages combine current code with procfs,
old daemon configuration and fixed runtime output. The result documents
invalid paths, the wrong object creation order and unsafe live commands.

Commit 08e532715d ("Remove procfs support") removed the main obsolete
interface. Commit 70eb596f60 ("Rework iSCSI aborts to make them more
correct and remove recent workarounds (one more post-IET cleanup)")
added the SCST abort callback requested by an old ToDo entry.

Use iscsi_scst.h, kernel/config.c and usr/config.c for the kernel and
daemon contract. Correct sysfs ownership, authentication limits, setup
ordering, logging and dynamic output, and remove the completed task.

Keep iscsi-scstd.conf and iscsi-scst-adm documented because current code
still consumes them, but direct new setups to scst.conf. Replace the
removed service command and warn before exposing storage, credentials,
portals or sessions.

- Remove the "poor man solution" suspending. Instead, immediate/unsolicited
data for suspended commands should be received in the dummy_page and
then, when they are resumed, aborted with BUSY status. All other
commands should proceed normally.
- Separate iSCSI request and response structures. Currently they share the
same structure. This architecture decision derived from IET and makes
the code a lot less readable, maintainable and effective as well as more
errors prone, so it must be corrected.
- Code beautifying, i.e. make it be written in the same nice looking style.
Particularly, all functions and variables names should share the same style.
- Fix support of ranges in parameters negotiation. Are there any initiators who
use ranges and, hence, can be used for testing?
- Minor "ToDo"'s spread in the code.
