[FEAT] Friendly name for each drive #826

Description

@michaelkrieger

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Scrutiny shows drives by /dev/sdX, their model ST1800NE000-2ABC11, WWN, and other data
Often these have friendly names (datadisk1, PrimarySSD, MirrorSSD, datadisk2, paritydisk1).

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if we could add a friendly label to each of these disks (ideally through the UI, but otherwise a WWN-to-friendly-name mapping in a file or variable so it doesn't change). Just a simple name/label field.

Additional context
If you have lots of drives, it's nice to label them.
To know which are a part of your ZFS pool. To know which are your data disks. To have something matching the sticker you might put on your drive caddys.

This is also useful when the /dev/sdX changes and is no longer relevant, and it duplicates up the device names (I have two /dev/sdl 's).
