raghavendrat 9e122f1166 3PAR: Add config for NSP single path attach
This fix aims to resolve below mentioned bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-brick/+bug/1812665
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1809249
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1734917

Given a system connected to HPE 3PAR via FC and multipath is disabled.
When user tries to create bootable volume, it fails intermittently
with following error:

    Fibre Channel volume device not found

This happens when a zone is created using second or later target nsp
from 3PAR backend. In this case, HPE 3PAR client code picks up first
target nsp to form initiator target map.

To avoid above mentioned failure, user can specify target nsp in 3PAR
backend section of cinder.conf as follows:

    hpe3par_target_nsp = <n:s:p>

This target information is read from cinder.conf and respective
wwn information is fetched. Later initiator target map is created
using wwn information and bootable volume is created successfully.

3PAR driver adds the config option `hpe3par_target_nsp` that can be
set to the 3PAR backend to use when multipath is not enabled and
the Fibre Channel Zone Manager is not used.
