96626f64fa cache: Code to allow the create/remove of cache LVs
This patch allows users to create cache LVs with 'lvcreate'.  An origin
or a cache pool LV must be created first.  Then, while supplying the
origin or cache pool to the lvcreate command, the cache can be created.

Ex1:
Here the cache pool is created first, followed by the origin which will
be cached.
~> lvcreate --type cache_pool -L 500M -n cachepool vg /dev/small_n_fast
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 1G -n lv vg/cachepool /dev/large_n_slow

Ex2:
Here the origin is created first, followed by the cache pool - allowing
a cache LV to be created covering the origin.
~> lvcreate -L 1G -n lv vg /dev/large_n_slow
~> lvcreate --type cache -L 500M -n cachepool vg/lv /dev/small_n_fast

The code determines which type of LV was supplied (cache pool or origin)
by checking its type.  It ensures the right argument was given by ensuring
that the origin is larger than the cache pool.

If the user wants to remove just the cache for an LV.  They specify
the LV's associated cache pool when removing:
~> lvremove vg/cachepool

If the user wishes to remove the origin, but leave the cachepool to be
used for another LV, they specify the cache LV.
~> lvremove vg/lv

In order to remove it all, specify both LVs.

This patch also includes tests to create and remove cache pools and
cache LVs.

97be8b3482 cache: Code changes to allow creation of cache pools
This patch allows the creation and removal of cache pools.  Users are not
yet able to create cache LVs.  They are only able to define the space used
for the cache and its characteristics (chunk_size and cache mode ATM) by
creating the cache pool.

b94a3ee9f6 cache: Add functions that create/remove cache LVs
A cache LV - from LVM's perpective - is a user accessible device that
links the cachepool LV and the origin LV.  The following functions
were added to facilitate the creation and removal of this top-level
LV:
1) 'lv_cache_create' - takes a cachepool and an origin device and links
   them into a new top-level LV of 'cache' segment type.  No allocation
   is necessary in this function, as the sub-LVs contain all of the
   necessary allocated space.  Only the top-level layer needs to be
   created.

2) 'lv_cache_remove' - this function removes the top-level LV of a
   cache LV - promoting the cachepool and origin sub-LVs to top-level
   devices and leaving them exposed to the user.  That is, the
   cachepool is unlinked and free to be used with another origin to
   form a new cache LV; and the origin is no longer cached.
   (Currently, if the cache needs to be flushed, it is done in this
   function and the function waits for it to complete before proceeding.
   This will be taken out in a future patch in favor of polling.)

70fd2139e1 cache: Allocation code changes necessary to support cache_pool
Cache pools require a data and metadata area (like thin pools).  Unlike
thin pool, if 'cache_pool_metadata_require_separate_pvs' is not set to
'1', the metadata and data area will be allocated from the same device.
It is also done in a manner similar to RAID, where a single chunk of
space is allocated and then split to form the metadata and data device -
ensuring that they are together.

90bbed3255 cache: New 'cachepool' segment type
This patch adds the new cachepool segment type - the first of two
necessary to eventually create 'cache' logical volumes.  In addition
to the new segment type, updates to makefiles, configure files, the
lv_segment struct, and some necessary libdevmapper flags.

The cachepool is the LV and corresponding segment type that will hold
all information pertinent to the cache itself - it's size, cachemode,
cache policy, core arguments (like migration_threshold), etc.

902b343e0e thin: validate resize of thin LV with ext. origin
When thin volume is using external origin, current thin target
is not able to supply 'extended' size with empty pages.

lvm2 detects version and disables extension of LV past the external
origin size in this case.

Thin LV could be however still reduced and extended freely bellow
this size.

a cachepool, for example, to use "create_thin_pool".

5590448c32 Misc: Move some thin pool functions to a new file
Functions that handle set-up, tear-down and creation of thin pool
volumes will be more generally applicable when more targets exist
that make use of device-mapper's persistent data format.  One of
these targets is the dm-cache target.  I've selected some functions
that will be useful for the cache segment type to be moved, since
they will no longer be thin pool specific but are more broadly
useful to any segment type that makes use of a 'pool' LV.

6a1957badc pvcreate: do not issue warning about any existing PV
If we're calling pvcreate on a device that already has a PV label,
the blkid detects the existing PV and then we consider it for wiping
before we continue creating the new PV label and we issue a warning
with a prompt whether such old PV label should be removed. We don't
do this with native signature detection code. Let's make it consistent
with old behaviour.

But still keep this "PV" (identified as "LVM1_member" or "LVM2_member"
by blkid) detection when creating new LVs to avoid unexpected PV label
appeareance inside LV.

eaa23d3273 wiping: add support for blkid wiping
This is actually the wipefs functionailty as a matter of fact
(wipefs uses the same libblkid calls).

libblkid is more rich when it comes to detecting various
signatures, including filesystems and users can better
decide what to erase and what should be kept.

The code is shared for both pvcreate (where wiping is necessary
to complete the pvcreate operation) and lvcreate where it's up
to the user to decide.

The verbose output contains a bit more information about the
signature like LABEL and UUID.

For example:
  raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg
  WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]

or more verbose one:
  raw/~ # lvcreate -L16m vg -v
  ...
     Found existing signature on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096: LABEL="raw.virt:0" UUID="da6af139-8403-5d06-b8c4-13f6f24b73b1" TYPE="linux_raid_member" USAGE="raid"
WARNING: linux_raid_member signature detected on /dev/vg/lvol0 at offset 4096. Wipe it? [y/n]

The verbose output is the same output as found in blkid.
