disk_partitions(): add disk type info (ssd / rotational)

[giampaolo]

Summary

• OS: all
• Type: new-api

Description

An extra "disktype" field could be added to the retuned namedtuple indicating whether the partition refers to an SSD or a rotational disk drive.

The value should be a string like "ssd", "rotational" or "" / None (undefined).

This new value could be particularly useful to identify (and filter for) real disks/partitions, because the result returned by disk_partitions() is unclear on what's "real" and what's "virtual".

Here's another use case:

Also, #1681 / #1694 must be taken into account. Should psutil.disk_swaps() also return this new field?
