Add lvm_vg_get_property() generic vg property function.

Add a generic VG property function to lvm2app.  Call the internal library
vg_get_property() function.  Strings are dup'd internally.
Rework lvm_vg_get_property to return lvm_property_value and require caller
to check 'is_valid' flag.  If !is_valid, the caller can check lvm_errno()
for the specific error.

Create a 'get_property' function, local to lvm2app, that factors out
most of the common code that copies the components of lvm_property_type
into lvm_property_value.  This allows for a 1-line function for each
of the generic property functions exported by lvm2app.
