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.

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

03888774a5 o Added functions to display what's in the archive.
o  For now vgcfgrestore -l <vg> displays this list.

A bit hacky, but it'll get better.

59d6420b9a o I decided that the archive_format shouldn't really be a format at
all since it only supports vg_write.  It has been replaced with:

int archive_vg(struct volume_group *vg,
	       const char *dir,
	       const char *desc,
	       uint32_t retain_days,
	       uint32_t min_archive);

which is now called directly by tools/archive.c

e74999af51 o Add cmd_line field to struct cmd_context
o  Text format now has a description and time field at the top level.

o  archiving and backup set the description appropriately. eg,

   for an archive:

     description = "Created *before* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
     creation_time = 1013166332

   for a backup:

     description = "Created *after* executing 'lvextend test_vg/lvol0 -l +1'."
     creation_time = 1013166332

This is preparing the way for a simple vgcfgundo command.

mapping.

952d12a5f5 o Rename many occurrences of 'backup' to 'archive' to reduce confusion.
o Extract file creation/renaming code into a library and change backup code
  to use it too.
o Support umask.
o Bring lvm.conf man page up-to-date.
