- only reformat the tape, if the given volume_name is a
member of the requested pool
- only call mtx to exchange tapes, if the requested
volume_name is not the loaded and active tape in given drive (slot 0)

- introduce a quiet switch
- force calls to 1st level functions suppress any output if quiet is selected

- make ltfs_devname a global variable
- update all references in functions using the variable
- introduce new function ltfs_get_devname()
- call ltfs_get_devname on startup

* if ltfs_format does not receive the volume_serial as an argument
extract the serial number part from the tape name

* be verbose, if requested
* handle return codes for function call
* to re-format an already partitioned tape, its need to be wiped first
* just simply removing data from tape does not free the occupied space
thus, we need to wipe it and format again to get full capacity of
the tape

* force reformatting for given tape
* wipe() does not make sence, since the used space will not be freed
without a format

- ltfs_reformat(): tape needs to be unmounted before format call
- ltfs_umount(): be precise, if tapes mountpoint is in use
- parse_params(): improve error handling
