When we want to move a device to another md array, we should
stop the md device which contained this device first.
I'm not convinced we should extend the md api in libguestfs to active
manipulation. I wasn't convinced that mdadm-create was worthwhile
either, but it made a test case ever so slightly tidier. To me, MD
devices are the domain of physical machines. We need to be able to
*read* them (for P2V apart from anything else), but I think manipulation
is opening an unnecessary can of worms.
