Introduce 'hard limit' for max number of cache chunks.
When cache target operates with too many chunks (>10e6).
When user is aware of related possible troubles he
may increase the limit in lvm.conf.
Also verbosely inform user about possible solution.
Code works for both lvcreate and lvconvert.
Lvconvert fully supports change of chunk_size when caching LV
(and validates for compatible settings).
Enforce mirror/raid0/1/10/4/5/6 type specific maximum images when
creating LVs or converting them from mirror <-> raid1.
Document those maxima in the lvcreate/lvconvert man pages.

Prepare for new segment type conversion functionality in cases that
currently fail. In the short-term, we need to do this while limiting
the changes to the code paths for the conversions that are already
supported.
Add matching support for -Z option also we doing full conversion
to cache-pool.
Extending coversion message to show which pool type is created
and whether the metadata will be wiped or remain unmodified.
Follow-up to 27a767d5e8.
Tunning behavior in a way we always prompt when option --zero is NOT specified.
Without -Z lvm expects user wants to 'reset' cache-pool metadata
(they could have been splitted from some cached LV)
If user doesn't want to zero metadata he needs to specify -Zn.
User may also avoid prompting for zeroing by using -Zy for
cache-pool (basically equals using --yes without -Z being given)
(unlike full convert case, there is no cache-pool being converted,
so there is not 'uncoditional' prompt in this case).
When volume was lvconvert-ed to a thin-volume with external origin,
then in case thin-pool was in non-zeroing mode
it's been printing WARNING about not zeroing thin volume - but
this is wanted and expected - so nothing to warn about.
So in this particular use case WARNING needs to be suppressed.
Adding parameter support for lvcreate_params.
So now lvconvert creates 'normal thin LV' in read-only mode
(so any read will 'return 0' for a moment)
then deactivate regular thin LV and reacreate in 'final R/RW' mode
thin LV with external origin and activate again.
When cache pool is reused for a new cached volume, there is
normally no need to 'keep' old cache-pool metadata as this
could cause major data lose.
Unlike with 'lvcreate -H -LX --cachepool' conversion, this lvconvert
path left the metadata unzeroed - partly for making easier some
debugging, but this was rather a bug.
So to keep possible reattach of 'unzeroed' metadata, user
now has to use 'lvconvert -Zn' for such conversion. In this case
the prompt will appear about possibe data loss and to proceed,
user has to confirm such operation. Without -Zn metadata are wiped.
lvconvert --splitcache VG/CachePool_corig
Allow the split via the hidden/used cache pool for the time being,
since the new lvconvert code did intend to allow it, but was just
missing the exception in the list of hidden LVs that were allowed.
The preferred method for splitcache is to run it on the visible
cache LV, not the hidden cache pool. That may eventually become
the only method since we try to avoid running commands on
hidden LVs.
The code could perform this conversion but ironically
did not recognize the standard command form, only the
the unpreferred "implication-based" command form.
"lvconvert --type linear VG/RaidLV" would fail, but
"lvconvert --mirrors 0 VG/RaidLV" would succeed.
