In linux, there is no way to predetermine the dev device path since dev nodes are determined and created by the device driver. As a result, we need to search for the dev node that corresponds with a given device that we've already assigned in with vpci support.
Unfortunately, there is no great way to get the dev node information from the content in the sysfs path for the vmbus instance added for the assigned device, which we can easily determine. One option would be to query linux uevents for device node creation events. However, we determined that route was overly complex for today's needs. Instead, this PR adds simple logic to find pci assigned devices in LCOW and add them to the container spec. This works by first finding the full sysfs path of the vmbus instance and then looping through all /dev devices on the host UVM to find the device that links to that vmbus device.
