Jonathan Brassow 3ab46449f4 vgimport: Allow '--force' to import VGs with missing PVs.
When there are missing PVs in a volume group, most operations that alter
the LVM metadata are disallowed.  It turns out that 'vgimport' is one of
those disallowed operations.  This is bad because it creates a circular
dependency.  'vgimport' will complain that the VG is inconsistent and that
'vgreduce --removemissing' must be run.  However, 'vgreduce' cannot be run
because it has not been imported.  Therefore, 'vgimport' must be one of
the operations allowed to change the metadata when PVs are missing.  The
'--force' option is the way to make 'vgimport' happen in spite of the
missing PVs.
