[Bug 1317506] [NEW] list-devices fails to scan loop devices for ISO image

[midenok]

Public bug reported:

When you try to install Ubunto from .iso image it will fail to 'Detect
and mount CD-ROM' no matter what you try to do from console to point it
to existing .iso image. Installation from .iso image is now impossible!

The following fix helps to find .iso images that are bound to loop
devices with 'losetup'. This makes possible to continue installation
process with help of two additional commands from console.

Would be good to automatically scan for .iso images, but this is the
reason for a different topic.
