vdsm: get gluster volume info from any gluster peer

The function _get_gluster_volinfo query the glusterfs volume info the the storage server, this is translated to the gluster client adding the parameter --remote-host which limits the query to one server, so we are converting the storage server as a single point of failure, if it is not available, it can led to cluster outtage.
The proposed changed let the cluster cli to use any available gluster peer.
