3f0434057b config: Introduce lvmconfig.
'lvm dumpconfig' now does a lot more than just dumping configuration
information and is no longer only a support tool.  Users now need
to run it to find out about configuration information that has been
removed from the lvm.conf man page so we need to promote this to full
command line status as 'lvmconfig'.  Also accept 'lvm config' and mention
it in the usage information of lvmconf (which should also get merged in
eventually).

b6f558adcc lvm: recognize LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env var for default command profile to use in LVM commands
Once LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE environment variable is specified, the profile
referenced is used just like it was specified using "<lvm command> --commandprofile".
If both --commandprofile cmd line option and LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env
var is used, the --commandprofile cmd line option gets preference.

11bedf1baf display: print skipped prompt
Since decisions in the silent mode may not be always obvious,
print skipped prompt with answer 'n'.

Also document  '-qq' behaviour (single -q only shuts
logging, while -qq sets silent mode).

00ce01e52d cache-pool: Change segtype name from cache_pool to cache-pool
Thin pools use "thin-pool" for the segment type name.  To be consistent,
we use "cache-pool" instead of "cache_pool".

f4658b53d7 man: Add example/explanation section for cache LVs to lvm.8
I've added an "Advanced Logical Volume Types" section that I hope
to contain information on the logical volume types that may use
multiple steps and multiple commands to create.  Cache is the
first entry into this section.  I'd like to see thin and RAID in
here in the future.

baf95bbff7 cmdline: Add --ignoreskippedcluster.
Accept --ignoreskippedcluster with pvs, vgs, lvs, pvdisplay, vgdisplay,
lvdisplay, vgchange and lvchange to avoid the 'Skipping clustered
VG' errors when requesting information about a clustered VG
without using clustered locking and still exit with success.

The messages can still be seen with -v.

Document following items:
  configuration cascade (man lvm.conf)
  --profile ProfileName (man lvm)
  --detachprofile (man vgchange/lvchange)
  -o vg_profile/lv_profile (man vgs/lvs)

Also document --config a bit so we can see where it fits in the
configuration cascade - will be documented more in following commit...

c6cf2ed7fd commands: accept --yes globally
Accept --yes on all commands, even ones that don't today have prompts,
so that test scripts that don't care about interactive prompts no
longer need to deal with them.

But continue to mention --yes only in the command prototypes that
actually use it.

438e0050df config: add silent mode
Accept -q as the short form of --quiet.
Suppress non-essential standard output if -q is given twice.
Treat log/silent in lvm.conf as equivalent to -qq.
Review all log_print messages and change some to
log_print_unless_silent.

When silent, the following commands still produce output:
dumpconfig, lvdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvs, pvck, pvdisplay,
pvs, version, vgcfgrestore -l, vgdisplay, vgs.
[Needs checking.]

Non-essential messages are shifted from log level 4 to log level 5
for syslog and lvm2_log_fn purposes.
