rcourtman 25b2df07a0 Classify SATA disks behind a SAS HBA as SATA ...

linuxBlockDeviceTransportEvidence tested sas_address before vendor. A SATA
disk attached to an LSI/mpt3sas HBA, which is the common Unraid and TrueNAS
layout, exposes sas_address on its scsi_device while reporting vendor ATA,
so it classified as SAS. linuxInferredSmartctlDeviceTypes then returned only
"scsi" and smartctlDeviceTypeMatchesTransport discarded the correct "-d sat"
hint, steering a direct-ATA disk back to the "-d scsi" probe that 6e93cb3b5
exists to avoid.

Vendor ATA is the SCSI layer's marker for a device reached through a SAT
translation layer, so it is the more specific signal and is now tested
first. A genuine SAS disk reports its own vendor and never ATA, so the SAS
arm is unaffected.

Regression coverage pins all three shapes (SATA behind an HBA, a genuine SAS
disk, and a direct SATA disk) plus the resulting probe hint, and was
verified against the old ordering: it reports transport "sas" and inferred
types [scsi] for the HBA case.
