Avoid code duplication and inconsistent error handling by replacing
readlink() with util_readlink(), which is used project-wide to
standardize readlink() usage.

util_sys_get_dev_addr() returns the device address for a given blockdevice.
This does not work for partitions but some tools rely on the ability to get
the device address for partitions.
Add code that first determines the base device for a partition.

Some operations are only possible on base devices not on partitions.
Add functions to determine if a given device is a partition or a base
device and to get the base device to a given partition.

Many tools need to identify the device address of a given device. So
far, either the tool had its own implementation, or u2s_getbusid() was
used. Though, u2s_getbusid() was mainly designed for and used by the
DASD tools.
Introduce util_sys with a first function util_sys_get_dev_addr() which
provides a more universal way to identify the device address which is
not limited to one particular device type. The device address represents
either a busid (e.g. DASD), slot address (NVMe), H:C:T:L tuple (SCSI),
or other id types associated with a device.
