f938545687 cache: warn and prompt for writeback with cachevol
The cache repair utility does not yet work with a cachevol
(where metadata and data exist on the same LV.)  So, warn
and prompt if writeback is specified with a cachevol.

a9eaab6beb Use "cachevol" to refer to cache on a single LV
and "cachepool" to refer to a cache on a cache pool object.

The problem was that the --cachepool option was being used
to refer to both a cache pool object, and to a standard LV
used for caching.  This could be somewhat confusing, and it
made it less clear when each kind would be used.  By
separating them, it's clear when a cachepool or a cachevol
should be used.

Previously:

- lvm would use the cache pool approach when the user passed
  a cache-pool LV to the --cachepool option.

- lvm would use the cache vol approach when the user passed
  a standard LV in the --cachepool option.

Now:

- lvm will always use the cache pool approach when the user
  uses the --cachepool option.

- lvm will always use the cache vol approach when the user
  uses the --cachevol option.

cac4a9743a Allow dm-cache cache device to be standard LV
If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use
it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool
object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata).

With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the
beginning for metadata, and the rest for data.  Separate
dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and
data areas of the LV.  These dm devs are given to the
dm-cache target to use.

The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it.

If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for
metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate
LVs for data and metadata.)

Usage:

$ lvcreate -n main -L 128M vg /dev/loop0

$ lvcreate -n fast -L 64M vg /dev/loop1
