Hi,

Recently released Linux kernel v6.14 added support for easily discovering
multiple paths to a shared NVMe namespace. This multipath information is
exposed to userspace via a new sysfs group attribute named "multipath",
located under /sys/block/<ns-blkdev>/. More details on this functionality
can be found here [1].

This patch series leverages that new functionality to discover multiple paths
to a shared namespace and exposes that information in libnvme so that it can
later be used by nvme-cli.

There are three patches in this series:
The first patch adds support for discovering NVMe paths using the sysfs
"multipath" group attribute.
The second patch adds a new "queue_depth" attribute under the NVMe path object.
The third patch adds a new "numa_nodes" attribute under the NVMe path object.
