Deterministically identifying devices for testing

Registered by Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre

There seems to be an ongoing problem especially in the installation system for laptops, where the card reader and hard drive, both detected as 'sdX', are seen in a different order depending on the flavor of the installation (desktop, alternate, etc.). The certification website currently only allows one target device to be specified, e.g. /dev/sda.

Other related tests, such as the storage test may benefit from an updated way of detecting devices that are worth testing (for example, not testing and not failing on /dev/sdb being an empty card reader with no partitions).
