There were a handful of references to other man
pages using the standard command(N) form which were
not in bold, so they were not turned into links
in html formats.

4f9ff14508 pvcreate: add prompt when setting dev size
If the device size does not match the size requested
by --setphysicalvolumesize, then prompt the user.

Make the pvcreate checking/prompting code handle
multiple prompts for the same device, since the
new prompt can be in addition to the existing
prompt when the PV is in a VG.

36cac41115 man-generator/man/help: simplify hyphen escaping
Commits a29bb6a14b
    ... 5c199d99f4
narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens
in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding
them in creating help texts.  This lead to a sequence
of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional
patches in aforementioned commit series.

On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator
created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens
in need of escaping.

Changes:
- revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator
  streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating
  help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in

- Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1)
  in the respective Makefile targets

- remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any
  static manual sources or headers

c8671f6f79 commands: use correct relative signs with mirror option
As was recently done with relative signes for sizes/extents,
limit the signs used with the mirrors option, e.g.
lvcreate --mirrors now does not accept or advertise an
optional minus sign with the value.  lvconvert --mirrors
accepts +|-.

a6a2788e7c commands: clean up and unify signed option value handling
Add new values for different sign variations, resulting in:

size_VAL      no sign accepted
ssize_VAL     accepts + or -
psize_VAL     accepts +
nsize_VAL     accpets -

extents_VAL   no sign accepted
sextents_VAL  accepts + or -
pextents_VAL  accepts +
nextents_VAL  accepts -

Depending on the command being run, change the option
values for --size, --extents, --poolmetadatasize to
use the appropriate value from above.

lvcreate uses no sign (but accepts + and ignores it).
lvresize accepts +|- for a relative change.
lvextend accepts + for a relative change.
lvreduce accepts - for a relative change.

b6c4b7cfb0 man/help: poolmetadatasize option can take relative value
In lvcreate/lvconvert, --poolmetdatasize can only be an
absolute value, but in lvresize/lvextend, --poolmetadatasize
can be given a + relative value.

The val types only currently support relative values that
go in both directions +|-.  Further work is needed to add
val types that can be relative in only one direction, and
switching various option values to one those depending on
the command name.  Then poolmetdatasize will not appear
with a +|- option in lvcreate/lvconvert, and will
appear with only the + option in lvresize/lvextend.

b7831fc14a lvcreate/lvresize: the --size option accepts signed values
There was confusion in the code about whether or not the
--size option accepted a sign.  Make it consistent and clear
that it does.

This exposes a new problem in that an option can only
accept one value type, e.g. --size can only accept a
signed number, it cannot accept a positive or negative
number for some commands and reject negative numbers for
others.

In practice, lvcreate accepts only positive --size
values and lvresize accepts positive or negative --size
values.  There is currently no way to encode this
difference.  Until that is fixed, the man page output
is hacked to avoid printing the [+|-] prefix for sizes
in lvcreate.

f88ce5fb99 lvconvert: include swap behavior in generic pool syntax
For this syntax:
lvconvert --thinpool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2
lvconvert --cachepool LV1 --poolmetadata LV2

Restore the metadata swapping behavior in addition to
the pool creation behavior.  When LV1 is already a pool,
the metadata LV will be swapped with LV2.
When LV1 is not a pool, it will be converted to a
pool using the specified LV for metadata.

This syntax is no longer advertised because of the
ambiguous behavior.  The primary syntaxes for pool
creation and metadata swapping will be the advertised
methods.

1e2420bca8 commands: new method for defining commands
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.

The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command.  A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args.  Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition.  Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.

Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:

lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.

lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX

lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.

The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters.  Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition.  Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.

This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h.  usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.

Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one.  An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition.  The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.

The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.

  command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
          [ <optional_opt_args> ]
          [ <optional_pos_args> ]

Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX.  These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.

Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.

Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found.  lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition.  This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.

Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it.  The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.)  These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.

Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do.  This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis.  When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.

4fd41cf67f vgchange: max_pv limited to uint32
Solves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1280496

The only reasonable behaviour here is to error on
any number out of accepted range (i.e. now numbers
wrapping around with some hidden logic).

As this is plain bug there is no support for
backward compatibility since noone should
set numbers >UINT32_MAX and expect 0 or error
depending on how big number was used....

TODO: more fields might need to be converted.

d2c3b23e6d lvchange: Allow device specification when requesting a repair
'lvchange --resync LV' or 'lvchange --syncaction repair LV' request the
RAID layout specific parity blocks in raid4/5/6 to be recreated or the
mirrored blocks to be copied again from the master leg/copy for raid1/10,
thus not allowing a rebuild of a particular PV.

Introduce repeatable option '--[raid]rebuild PV' to allow to request
rebuilds of specific PVs in a RaidLV which are known to contain corrupt
data (e.g. rebuild a raid1 master leg).

Add test lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh to test/shell doing rebuild
variations on raid1/10 and 5; add aux function check_status_chars
to support the new test.
