    Bug #898290: iSCSI volume backend treats FLAGS.host as a hostname

    Change ISCSIDriver to set volume.provider_location during create_export.
    This records the location of the LUN, so that nova-compute does not need
    to run the iSCSI discovery code itself.

    As part of this, include the IP address of the target (--iscsi_ip_address) in
    the provider_location. This means that we don't use volume's host identifier
    (which could be an opaque ID) when trying to connect to the iSCSI target --
    we use the admin-specified IP address instead.

    The string-join to set provider_location is shared with ZadaraBEDriver,
    which was doing something similar. I've brought that into a helper function.

    The docstring for the --host flag has been clarified.
