tools: don't require --major to be specified when using -My option on kernels > 2.4

Browse Source 
Since kernel > 2.4 have dynamically assigned major numbers.

[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 -My --minor 10 vg
  Logical volume "lvol0" created

[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -l1 -My --major 254 --minor 11 vg
  Ignoring supplied major number - kernel assigns major numbers dynamically. Using major number 253 instead.
  Logical volume "lvol1" created

[0] raw/~ $ lvs --profile out -o+major,minor
  lvol0 vg     -wima-----    4.00 253  10
  lvol1 vg     -wima-----    4.00 253  11

Version 2.02.106 -
====================================
Don't require --major to be specified when using -My option on kernels > 2.4.
Add configure --disable-thin_check_needs_check to support old thin_check.
Use thin_check --clear-needs-check-flag by default.
Export lvm_even_rand() for controlled provision of random numbers.
