Allowing an 'all' and 'unmanaged' value is more intuitive, and
provides a simple way for users to get back to original LVM behavior
of metadata written to all PVs in the volume group.
If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies unmanaged", this instructs
LVM not to manage the ignore bits to achieve a specific number of
metadata copies in the volume group. The user is free to use
"pvchange --metadataignore" to control the mdas on a per-PV basis.
If the user requests "--vgmetadatacopies all", this instructs LVM
to do 2 things: 1) clear all ignore bits, and 2) set the "unmanaged"
policy going forward.
Internally, we use the special MAX_UINT32 value to indicate 'all'.
This 'just' works since it's the largest value possible for the
field and so all 'ignore' bits on all mdas in the VG will get
cleared inside _vg_metadata_balance(). However, after we've
called the _vg_metadata_balance function, we check for the special
'all' value, and if set, we write the "unmanaged" value into the
metadata. As such, the 'all' value is never written to disk.

Now that we have both --pvmetadatacopies and --vgmetadatacopies,
we need to make sure --metadatacopies gets interpreted correctly.
For pv commands, --metadatacopies should imply --pvmetadatacopies,
and for vg commands, --vgmetadatacopies.
Note: this will change the behavior of vgcreate with --metadatacopies
to be a synonym for --vgmetadatacopies. Previously, --metadatacopies
would apply to any PVs given with vgcreate that needed an implicit
pvcreate. As a result, one small change is needed to one of the nightly
tests - t-vgcreate-usage.

A shortcut for --ignorelockingfailure, --ignoremonitoring, --poll n options
and LVM_SUPPRESS_LOCKING_FAILURE_MESSAGES environment variable used all at
once in initialisation scripts (e.g. rc.sysinit or initrd).
We can use it even in read-only environment where a try to initialise
file-based locking fails (not to mention other processing related with
lvm2 init). Simply, we want to output the version only, nothing else.
And this should always work.
This prevents some confusion when libudev was not found so udev_sync was disabled
automatically. Configure was successful though giving only a tiny warning.
Also, if "dmsetup udevcreatecookie" is used, never return 0x000000 as a result if
udev is not running and keep the output blank.
Allow the number of logical extents to be expressed (for a snapshot) as
a percentage of the total space in the Origin Logical Volume with the
suffix %ORIGIN.
Update the relevant man pages accordingly. Eliminate inconsistencies
between the man pages and tools/commands.h

more descriptive message if locking fails instead of
"Locking type -1 initialisation failed."
Use read-only locking instead of misleading ignorelocking option
in message.
DSO is currently not dl_close-ing pluing during it is unregister handling,
so clear structure and related counter, so there are no memory problems.
Futher fixes are needed.
successfully created it must _exit() once it completes.
Update _become_daemon() to differentiate between a failed fork() and a
successful fork().
Added lvm_return_code() to lvmcmdline.[ch]
Going forward, we would like to allow users to specify the total
number of metadatacopies in a VG rather than on a per-PV basis. In
order to facilitate that, introduce --pvmetadatacopes to replace
--metadatacopies everywhere. We still allow --metadatacopies for
pv commands, but require --pvmetadatacopies for vg commands.
Eventually we will introduce --vgmetadatacopies. Once we do that,
we should either deprecate --metadatacopies or make it a synonym based
on the command (pvmetadatacopies for pv commands, and vgmetadatacopies
for vg commands). The latter option would likely just require a simple
'strncpy' check against cmd->command->name to qualify the merge_synonym
call.
Update nightly tests to cover the pvmetadatacopies synonym.
Note that this patch is the result of an eariler review comment for
the implicit pvcreate patches. Should apply cleanly on top of the
implicit pvcreate patches (I applied after patch 10/10 in that series).
NOTE: This patch will require --pvmetadatacopies for vgconvert as
--metadatacopies is no longer accepted.
Very simple / crude method of removing 'is_static' from initialization.
Why should we require an application tell us whether it is linked
statically or dynamically to libLVM? If the application is linked
statically, but libraries exist and dlopen() calls succeed, why
do we care if it's statically linked?
This allows us to remove one argument from create_toolcontext() and
moves it closer to a generic library init function.
In the arg_*() functions, we just use _the_args() directly.
For now we leave the first parameter to these
arg_*() functions (struct cmd_context *) because
of the number of files involved in removing the
parameter.
In preparation for removing cmd->args.
IMO, it makes more sense to put these accessor functions
in the same location as the static array _the_args.
Next patch will update arg_* functions to use _the_args[]
directly and remove cmd->args.
