vol_id - probe filesystem and read label and uuid

vol_id will only return with a non-zero exit code if the string asked for,
is not empty. All trailing whitespace will be removed, spaces replaced by
underscore and slashes ignored.
Unmangled values are available in the --export mode as hex-encoded strings
in *_ENC= keys.
