a10a11bd54 lvchange: disable persistent minors for pools
There is no reason to support persistent major/minor numbers
for pool volumes - it's only meant to be supported for filesystems
(since i.e. nfs may need to keep volume on a persistent device node.)

Support for pools is now explicitely disabled and documented.

1e65fdd9ba system_id: make new VGs read-only for old lvm versions
Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written.  So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only.  This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id.  For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.

A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set.  A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting.  Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type.  Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.

When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag.  This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.

c32efc7f7e system_id: apply consistent naming
In log messages refer to it as system ID (not System ID).

Do not put quotes around the system_id string when printing.

On the command line use systemid.

In code, metadata, and config files use system_id.

In lvmsystemid refer to the concept/entity as system_id.

3505e88b18 man: dumpconfig: mention LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env var and add more references to --mergedconfig option
The LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env var is new - mention it in dumpconfig's
man page.

Also, dumpconfig always displays the top of the config cascade.
To display all the config found in the cascade merged (just like
it's used during LVM command processing), --mergedconfig option
must be used - this one's already described in that man page,
just make sure it's clear and add reference for this option also
in --profile/--commandprofile/--metadataprofile description.

referenced is used just like it was specified using "<lvm command> --commandprofile".
If both --commandprofile cmd line option and LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE env
var is used, the --commandprofile cmd line option gets preference.

8dbe767340 pvscan: notify lvmetad about device that is gone and pvscan is run with device path instead of major:minor pair
If pvscan is run with device path instead of major:minor pair and this
device still exists in the system and the device is not visible anymore
(due to a filter that is applied), notify lvmetad properly about this.

This makes it more consistent with respect to existing pvscan with
major:minor which already notifies lvmetad about device that is gone
due to filters.

However, if the device is not in the system anymore, we're not able
to translate the original device path into major:minor pair which
lvmetad needs for its action (lvmetad_pv_gone fn). So in this case,
we still need to use major:minor pair only, not device path. But at
least make "pvscan --cache DevicePath" as near as possible to "pvscan
--cahce <major>:<minor>" functionality.

Also add a note to pvscan man page about this difference when using
pvscan --cache with DevicePath and major:minor pair.

3ec482a379 man: remove reference to --binary in {pv,vg,lv}display man page
The {pv,vg,lv}display commands don't use reporting capabilites and
as such they can't use --binary. This got into the man pages by
mistake - the display commands do not recognize --binary option.
