.configure_disks is responsible for determining the disk controller(s) to use, given the machine configuration and the current disk config. When a machine has a single controller, use it for all attachments. When a machine has multiple controllers, attach disks to the SATA controller and DVDs to the IDE controller. This commit also returns additional attachment information (controller/port/device) with the disk metadata.
