disk-smart: Show smartctl output on failure #671
Description
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, if the smartctl command fails during the disk-check, an error message such as this will be shown:
smartctl failed with exit status "Device open failed, device did not return an IDENTIFY DEVICE structure, or device is in a low-power mode."
This is a very unhelpful error. I am aware of the --test arg, but this requires me to log into the machine and manually retrieve the info. I propose a new flag, --smartctl-stderr to print the command's output on an error so it shows up in the Icinga2 interface. Something like this:
smartctl failed with exit status "Device open failed, device did not return an IDENTIFY DEVICE structure, or device is in a low-power mode."
stdout: smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.15.74-1-pve] (local build)

Read Device Identity failed: scsi error unsupported field in scsi command
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.
stderr:
In this example, the error message is caused by an external USB hard drive that doesn't support smart.
