    libvirt: Use common naming convention for ephemeral disk labels
    
    The _create_ephemeral() method is responsible for creating ephemeral
    disks with image type "raw" and formatting them with mkfs. In the case
    of [libvirt]images_type "qcow2", _create_ephemeral() will create
    backing files.
    
    Currently we are not using a consistent naming convention for choosing
    the filesystem label for ephemeral disks. When we create a server for
    example, we go through the disks and label them "ephemeral0",
    "ephemeral1", "ephemeral2", etc.
    
    When we hard reboot a server, there is a check to create missing
    backing files and if so, a new backing file will be created but instead
    of being labeled "ephemeralN" the code attempts to label them with the
    name of the backing file itself for example "ephemeral_1_40d1d2c". This
    will fail if the filesystem used for ephemeral disks has limitations on
    the length of filesystem label names (VFAT, XFS, ...). For example:
    
      mkfs.vfat: Label can be no longer than 11 characters
    
    This adds a helper method for obtaining ephemeral disks filesystem
    label names and uses it the same way in the few places fs_label is
    specified.

Title:
  check_can_live_migrate_source fails with mkfs.vfat error: Label can be
  no longer than 11 characters

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When testing NBD TLS live-migration the initial attempt failed. Looks
  like a generated filesystem label is too long.

  Subsequent attempts succeeded
