62533ae3fa vgchange -aay: optimize device list using pvs_online files
Port another optimization from pvscan -aay to vgchange -aay:
  "pvscan: only add device args to dev cache"

This optimization avoids doing a full dev_cache_scan, and
instead populates dev-cache with only the devices in the
VG being activated.

This involves shifting the use of pvs_online files from
the hints interface up to the higher level label_scan
interface.  This specialized label_scan is structured
around creating a list of devices from the pvs_online
files.  Previously, a list of all devices was created
first, and then reduced based on the pvs_online files.
The initial step of listing all devices was slow when
thousands of devices are present on the system.

This optimization extends the previous optimization that
used pvs_online files to limit the devices that were
actually scanned (i.e. reading to identify the device):

0aa51a2f61 hints: fix recreating hints from pvscan
When aay was included in the pvscan --cache command,
the activation part was complaining about the unusual
state of the hint file since it had been recreated
just prior.

5f102b3421 hints: invalidate when pvscan --cache sees a new PV
An idea from Zdenek for better ensuring valid hints by invalidating
them when pvscan --cache <device> sees a new PV, which is a case
where we know that hints should be invalidated.  This is triggered
from systemd/udev logic, and there may be some cases where it would
invalidate hints that the existing methods wouldn't detect.

6620dc9475 add device hints to reduce scanning
Save the list of PVs in /run/lvm/hints.  These hints
are used to reduce scanning in a number of commands
to only the PVs on the system, or only the PVs in a
requested VG (rather than all devices on the system.)
