prometheus: have different disk alerts for physical and virtual hosts

Have more relaxed read/write alerts for physical hosts as they are
probably hypervisors and regular high read/writes are more common.
Also differentiate between physical and virtual hosts for IO alerts and
allow for hard disks to spend more time in IO.
