E-Series driver creates incorrect host type

[Navneet]

 Various performance related issues with block IO to the mapped devices on linux hosts it became clear that the choices that were made in how the driver does host creation are not in line with best practices for E-Series arrays. The driver creates a host that is of type 'linux' as it appears from querying the proxy and type "MPP/RDAC" when viewing the host within Santricity itself. At first glance "linux" would appear reasonable, but in fact the correct default choice should have been LnxALUA (from the proxy) or Linux (DM-MP).

    NetApp fix for default host type in eseries

    This fixes the issue where the default host type
    provided in mapping should be high performing LnxALUA
    type for eseries. It also makes it configurable in case
    users want to configure a different host type.

    Closes-Bug: #1365884
