f407c8afd0 . update documentation for --poll in the vgchange and lvchange man pages
. add high-level --poll FIXMEs to vgchange.c and lvchange.c

7a8fa6aaab Add a [--poll {y|n}] flag to vgchange and lvchange to control whether
the background polldaemon is allowed to start.  It can be used
standalone or in conjunction with --refresh or --available y.

Control over when the background polldaemon starts will be particularly
important for snapshot-merge of a root filesystem.

Dracut will be updated to activate all LVs with: --poll n

The lvm2-monitor initscript will start polling with: --poll y

NOTE: Because we currently have no way of knowing if a background
polldaemon is active for a given LV the following limitations exist and
have been deemed acceptable:
1) it is not possible to stop an active polldaemon; so the lvm2-monitor
   initscript doesn't stop running polldaemon(s)
2) redundant polldaemon instances will be started for all specified LVs
   if vgchange or lvchange are repeatedly used with '--poll y'

0ddb66efba Add --pvmetadatacopies as a synonym for --metadatacopies in various commands.
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.
