Update doxygen comments for lvm2app.h.

Fix add/remove tag function headers.
Fix a lot of little problems with doxygen comments.
Clarify the basic objects and their handles, and place functions with their
appropriate handles/objects.
All this cleanup moves automatic documentation of lvm2app much closer to being
useful as official documentation.  In the future I will add some examples
and plan to build the examples as part of the unit tests.
