25b733809a Merge with text format branch.
Lots of changes/very little testing so far => there'll be bugs!

Use 'vgcreate -M text' to create a volume group with its metadata stored
in text files.  Text format metadata changes should be reasonably atomic,
with a (basic) automatic recovery mechanism if the system crashes while a
change is in progress.

Add a metadata section to lvm.conf to specify multiple directories if
you want (recommended) to keep multiple copies of the metadata (eg on
different filesystems).

e.g. metadata {
        dirs = ["/etc/lvm/metadata1","/usr/local/lvm/metadata2"]
}

Plenty of refinements still in the pipeline.

568d7229bf Review locking: block signals instead of ignoring them and restore state
afterwards; avoid race condition with unlink; add LCK_HOLD to process_each_vg.

60274aba6e Preparation for an LVM2 liblvm - pass cmd_context into each tool and
link some globals that the tools need into that structure.

4a624ca055 o ACTIVE is no longer a status flag - lv_active() used to check if an LV
is active in the device-mapper.
o Many operations can be carried out regardless of whether the VG is
  active or not.
o vgscan does not activate anything - use vgchange.
o Change lvrename to support renaming of active LVs.
o Remove '//' appearing in some pathnames.
o Dummy lv_check_segments() for compilation.

faa556e759 Add internal cache holding a 'hint' list of the PVs belonging to each VG.
A substantial speed-up - particularly in readline mode.
If the hints turn out to be wrong, the relevant parts get thrown away.
vgscan destroys it totally.  In both cases it then rebuilds itself as
required.
