Add documentation for disk parameters to man pages


Document the stripes parameter for the plain template and the
resync-rate, datastripes, metastripes, disk-barriers, meta-barriers,
metavg, disk-custom and meta-custom parameters for the drbd template.

network script it is interpreted as a routing table number or

The ``-D (--disk-parameters)`` option allows you to set the default disk
template parameters at cluster level. The format used for this option is
similar to the one use by the ``-H`` option: the disk template name
must be specified first, followed by a colon and by a comma-separated
list of key-value pairs. These parameters can only be specified at
cluster and node group level; the cluster-level parameter are inherited
by the node group at the moment of its creation, and can be further
modified at node group level using the **gnt-group**(8) command.
List of disk parameters available for the **drbd** template:
resync-rate
Re-synchronization rate, expressed in KiB/s
data-stripes
Number of stripes to use for data LVs
meta-stripes
Number of stripes to use for meta LVs
disk-barriers
What kind of barriers to **disable** for disks. It can either assume
the value "n", meaning no barrier disabled, or a non-empty string
containing a subset of the characters "bfd". "b" means disable disk
barriers, "f" means disable disk flushes, "d" disables disk drains
meta-barriers
Boolean value indicating whether the meta barriers should be
disabled (True) or not (False).
metavg
String containing the name of the default LVM volume group for DRBD
metadata. By default, it is set to ``xenvg``. It can be overridden
during the instance creation process by using the ``metavg`` key of
the ``--disk`` parameter.
disk-custom
String containing additional parameters to be appended to the
arguments list of ``drbdsetup disk``.
net-custom
String containing additional parameters to be appended to the
arguments list of ``drbdsetup net``.
