RAID: Add new 'raid10_segtype_default' setting in lvm.conf

Browse Source 
If '--mirrors/-m' and '--stripes/-i' are used together when creating
a logical volume, mirrors-over-stripes is currently chosen.  The user
can override this by using the '--type raid10' option on creation.
However, we want a place where we can set the default behavior to
'raid10' explicitly - similar to the "mirror" and "raid1" tunable,
mirror_segtype_default.

A follow-on patch should use this new setting to change the default
from "mirror" to "raid10", as this is the preferred segment type.

mirror_segtype_default = "mirror"
# 'raid10_segtype_default' determines the segment types used by default
# when the '--stripes/-i' and '--mirrors/-m' arguments are both specified
# during the creation of a logical volume.
# Possible settings include:
#
# "raid10" - This implementation leverages MD's RAID10 personality through
# device-mapper.
#
# "mirror" - LVM will layer the 'mirror' and 'stripe' segment types. It
# will do this by creating a mirror on top of striped sub-LVs;
# effectively creating a RAID 0+1 array. This is suboptimal
# in terms of providing redunancy and performance. Changing to
# this setting is not advised.
# Specify the '--type <raid10|mirror>' option to override this default
# setting.
raid10_segtype_default "mirror"
# The default format for displaying LV names in lvdisplay was changed
# in version 2.02.89 to show the LV name and path separately.
# Previously this was always shown as /dev/vgname/lvname even when that
