The target use-case are systems with large number of multi-path
devices or systems with duplicate (copied) filesystems.
The feature is flexible enough to use arbitrary column (for example
WWM or UUID, ...) as de-duplication key.
For example tree with multi-path devices sd{c,d,e,f}
./lsblk

The patch does not change code logic and semantic -- just rename.
* set_cxt() to set_device()
* struct blkdev_cxt to lsblk_device
Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
The structure `blkdev_cxt` has a `struct stat` member embedded, whose
size may not be known on some systems because of a missing include for
"sys/stat.h". On glibc-based systems, this header is included
transitively via "sys/statvfs.h", but on musl-based systems it is not.
Fix the resulting compile error due to unknown size of the struct by
including "sys/stat.h".

* split properties to separate struct which is allocated only when
udev or blkid provides some information
* use separate function for udev and blkid and hide details in generic
get_device_properties()
* make sure we do not overwrite stuff udev and blkid (but this is only
theoretic issue as we do not call get_properties_by_blkid() directly
from code)
