[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Inroduce the set_params interface scsi_dh_alua h…

…andler

Handler expects only one parameter to set the flag ALUA_OPTIMIZE_STPG.
This flag is used to optimize the STPG behaviour. There is no change in
behaviour by default.

For example, to set the flag pass the following parameters from multipath.conf
hardware_handler        "2 alua 1"
