So far BLOCKDEV_LIST_IGNORE_VIRTUAL filtered out everything below /sys/devices/virtual/, which includes loopback devices. Loopback devices are frequently used as stand-ins for real disks though (in tests, and when installing to disk images), hence it's useful to be able to control them independently of the other virtual devices (dm, md, zram, …). Introduce a separate BLOCKDEV_LIST_IGNORE_LOOP flag for loopback devices, and make BLOCKDEV_LIST_IGNORE_VIRTUAL only cover the non-loop virtual devices. The only existing user (systemd-report) is updated to pass both flags, so that its behaviour stays unchanged.
