When lvmetad is used and at the same time we're getting list of all
PV-capable devices, we can't use cmd->filter (which is used to filter
out lvmetad responses - so we're sure that the devices are PVs already).
To get the list of PV-capable devices, we're bypassing lvmetad (since
lvmetad only caches PVs, not all the other devices which are not PVs).
For this reason, we have to use the "full_filter" filter chain (just
like we do when we're running without lvmetad).
Example scenario:
- sdo and sdp components of MD device md0
- sdq, sdr and sds components of mpatha multipath device
- mpatha multipath device partitioned
- vda device partitioned
=> sdo,sdp,sdr,sds, mpatha and vda should be filtered!

Version 2.02.117 -
====================================
+ Fix pvs -a used with lvmetad to filter out devices unsuitable for PVs.
Fix selection to recognize units for ba_start, vg_free and seg_start fields.
Add support for -S/--select to vgexport and vgimport.
Add support for -S/--select to vgdisplay, lvdisplay and pvdisplay without -C.
