[smartmontools-support] --scan-open limited to /dev/sdcz

I have valid drives that smartctl can access and report on beyond
/dev/sdcz, but they do not show up with `smartctl --scan-open`.

This scan pattern looks possibly outdated:

    get_dev_list(devlist, "/dev/sd[a-c][a-z]", true, p_dev_sdxy_seen,
false, type_scsi_sat, autodetect);

https://github.com/smartmontools/smartmontools/blob/89e11937812e6469e086ea2465a17ce62a0622a1/smartmontools/os_linux.cpp#L3066

I am not sure just how far Linux goes now (/dev/sdzzzz ?) but I know it
goes beyond /dev/sdcz. :)

Thanks,
eric
