feat(sm): add udev rules for PureStorage - best practices

This commit integrates PureStorage-recommended udev rules to optimize queue settings for Citrix XenServer. These changes follow the guidelines outlined in the PureStorage Knowledge Base article [#kbid](https://support.purestorage.com/bundle/m_citrix/page/Solutions/Citrix/Citrix_XenServer/topics/task/t_applying_queue_settings_with_udev.html).

Key changes:
- Implemented udev rules to adjust IO scheduler and queue depth for PureStorage volumes.
- Ensured compliance with existing XenServer storage management (SM) conventions.
- Verified functionality through test scenarios to avoid regression with non-PureStorage configurations.

Motivation:
These changes aim to improve performance and reliability for deployments using PureStorage arrays, adhering to vendor-recommended best practices while maintaining compatibility with the broader XenServer ecosystem.

Testing:
- Manually verified udev rules on test systems with PureStorage arrays.
- Confirmed compatibility with non-PureStorage environments.
- Ran unit tests for related storage subsystems.

This change is backward-compatible, introduces no breaking changes and only affect PureStorage arrays.
