Petr Rockai cf1b05e7dd Beef up the lvmetad code with more functionality and a bunch of bugfixes. There
used to be a few mis-ordered memory accesses (release and access in the next
block). Fix that set_flag could have sometimes corrupted the flags being
modified.

A few issues with metadata tracking are sorted out as well now, and there are
only a few problems remaining before we can integrate lvmetad, mostly on the
client side:

- metadata areas need to be tracked in lvmetad (most likely to be addressed
  through an extension of metadata, meaning no special support in lvmetad would
  be needed)
- non-udev scanning code needs to be taught about telling lvmetad about device
  disappearance (pvscan most importantly)
- this last item also needs to mesh with metadata inconsistencies and
  suddenly-incomplete volume groups (aux disable_dev in tests); udev-based
  scanning should address this separately and more elegantly
