Adds cli and ioctl to forget a scanned device or forget all stale

I've read my comments to previous postings and I suggested to add more
ways how to specify the device, eg. by uuid or fsid:devid. Have you
considered that?
Right I responded [1],

basically.. I like uuid|fsid:devid idea but,
- we also need to add the ability to list out uuid|fsid:devid which
are already scanned, such as [2] (in ml since 2015).

Further, its better to be consistent with other cli too..
As of now, 'btrfs device delete' supports only <path|devid> we need
to add uuid.
IMO it can be a candidate for separate series?
I checked volume.c it needs refactor and consolidation of function
which are involved in finding the device.
This patch-set helps xfstests to test with btrfs as root fs.[3].
