fccb1bb276 report: make devices, metadata_devices, seg_pe_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges fields consistent
There are two basic groups of fields for LV segment device reporting:
  - related to LV segment's devices: devices and seg_pe_ranges
  - related to LV segment's metadata devices: metadata_devices and seg_metadata_le_ranges

The devices and metadata_devices report devices in this format:
    "device_name(extent_start)"

The seg_pe_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges report devices in
this format:
    "device_name:extent_start-extent_end"

This patch reverts partly what commit 7f74a99502
(v 2.02.140) introduced in this area - it added [] for
hidden devices to mark them for all four fields mentioned above.

We won't be marking hidden devices in devices and metadata_devices
fields.

The seg_metadata_le_ranges field will have hidden devices marked -
it's new enough that we don't need to care about compatibility much
yet.

The seg_pe_ranges is old enough that we shouldn't be changing this
one - so we're reverting to not marking hidden devices here.
Instead, there's going to be a new field "seg_le_ranges" which
is going to replace the seg_pe_ranges and it will mark hidden devices -
this is going to be introduced in a patch later.

So in the end we'll end up with:

   (LV segment's devices)
   devices field with "device_name(extent_start)" format, not marking hidden devices
   seg_pe_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices (deprecated, new seg_le_ranges should be used instead for standardized format)
   seg_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices

   (LV segment's metadata devices)
   metadata_devices field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, not marking hidden devices
   seg_metadata_le_ranges field with "device_name:extent_start-extent_end" format, marking hidden devices

Also, both seg_le_ranges and seg_metadata_le_ranges will honour the
report/list_item_separator setting which can be used to configure
the delimiter used for list items.

So, to sum it up, we will recommend using the new seg_le_ranges and
seg_metadata_le_ranges fields because they display devices with
standard extent range format, they can mark hidden devices and they
honour the report/list_item_separator setting.

We'll be keeping devices,seg_pe_ranges and metadata_devices fields
for compatibility.
