Gorka Eguileor 1ae465e50b docs: Update LVM configuration
Our documentation uses iscsi_protocol and iscsi_helper to initialize the
LVM backend in multiple places, but this configuration option was being
deprecated in Pike and was removed in Queens.

This patch replaces these configuration options with their target_*
counterparts so the documentation is valid for all cinderlib supported
releases.

=================
Validated drivers
=================
The *Cinder* project has a large number of storage drivers, and all the drivers
have their own CI to validate that they are working as expected.
For *cinderlib* this is more complicated, as we don't have the resources of the
*Cinder* project. We rely on contributors who have access to the hardware to
test if the storage backend works with *cinderlib*.
.. note:: If you have access to storage hardware supported by *Cinder* not
present in here and you would like to test if *cinderlib* works, please
follow the :doc:`validating_backends` section and report your results.
Currently the following backends have been verified:
- `LVM`_ with LIO
- `Ceph`_
- Dell EMC `XtremIO`_
- Dell EMC `VMAX`_
- `Kaminario`_ K2
- NetApp `SolidFire`_
LVM
---
- *Cinderlib version*: v0.1.0, v0.2.0
- *Cinder release*: *Pike*, *Queens*, *Rocky*
- *Storage*: LVM with LIO
- *Connection type*: iSCSI
- *Requirements*: None
- *Tested by*: Gorka Eguileor (geguileo/akrog)
*Configuration*:
.. code-block:: YAML
logs: false
venv_sudo: true
backends:
- volume_backend_name: lvm
volume_driver: cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volume_group: cinder-volumes
target_protocol: iscsi
target_helper: lioadm
Ceph
----
- *Cinderlib version*: v0.2.0
- *Cinder release*: *Pike*
- *Storage*: Ceph/RBD
- *Versions*: Luminous v12.2.5
- *Connection type*: RBD
- *Requirements*:
- `ceph-common` package
- `ceph.conf` file
- Ceph keyring file
- *Tested by*: Gorka Eguileor (geguileo/akrog)
- *Notes*:
- If we don't define the `keyring` configuration parameter (must use an
absolute path) in our `rbd_ceph_conf` to point to our `rbd_keyring_conf`
file, we'll need the `rbd_keyring_conf` to be in `/etc/ceph/`.
- `rbd_keyring_confg` must always be present and must follow the naming
convention of `$cluster.client.$rbd_user.conf`.
- Current driver cannot delete a snapshot if there's a dependent (a volume
created from it exists).
*Configuration*:
.. code-block:: YAML
logs: false
venv_sudo: true
backends:
- volume_backend_name: ceph
volume_driver: cinder.volume.drivers.rbd.RBDDriver
rbd_user: cinder
