collector/diskstats: Use SCSI_IDENT_SERIAL as serial (prometheus#2612)

On most hard drives, `ID_SERIAL_SHORT` and `SCSI_IDENT_SERIAL` are identical,
but on some SAS drives they do differ. In that case, `SCSI_IDENT_SERIAL`
corresponds to the serial number printed on the drive label, and to the value
returned by `smartctl -i`.

So use that value by default for the `serial` label on the `node_disk_info`
metric, and fallback to `ID_SERIAL_SHORT` only if it's undefined.
