lvmetad: disable if device scan fails
If a command begins repopulating the lvmetad cache,
and fails part way through, it should set the disabled
state in lvmetad so other commands don't use bad data.
If a subsequent scan succeeds, the disabled state is
cleared.

pvs: new attr and field for unchosen duplicate device
When there are duplicate devices for a PV, one device
is preferred and chosen to exist in the VG. The other
devices are not used by lvm, but are displayed by pvs
with a new PV attr "d", indicating that they are
unchosen duplicate PVs.
The "duplicate" reporting field is set to "duplicate"
when the PV is an unchosen duplicate, and that field
is blank for the chosen PV.

lvmcache: process duplicate PVs directly
Previously, duplicate PVs were processed as a side effect
of processing the "chosen" PV in lvmcache. The duplicate
PV would be hacked into lvmcache temporarily in place of
the chosen PV.
In the old way, we had to always process the "chosen" PV
device, even if a duplicate of it was named on the command
line. This meant we were processing a different device than
was asked for. This could be worked around by naming
multiple duplicate devs on the command line in which case
they were swapped in and out of lvmcache for processing.
Now, the duplicate devs are processed directly in their
own processing loop. This means we can remove the old
hacks related to processing dups as a side effect of
processing the chosen device. We can now simply process
the device that was named on the command line.
When the same PVID exists on two or more devices, one device
is preferred and used in the VG, and the others are duplicates
and are not used in the VG. The preferred device exists in
lvmcache as usual. The duplicates exist in a specical list
of unused duplicate devices.
The duplicate devs have the "d" attribute and the "duplicate"
reporting field displays "duplicate" for them.
'pvs' warns about duplicates, but the formal output only
includes the single preferred PV.
'pvs -a' has the same warnings, and the duplicate devs are
included in the output.
'pvs <path>' has the same warnings, and displays the named
device, whether it is preferred or a duplicate.

lvmcache: improve duplicate PV handling
Wait to compare and choose alternate duplicate devices until
after all devices are scanned. During scanning, the first
duplicate dev is kept in lvmcache, and others are kept in a
new list (_found_duplicate_devs).
After all devices are scanned, compare all the duplicates
available for a given PVID and decide which is best.
If the dev used in lvmcache is changed, drop the old dev
from lvmcache entirely and rescan the replacement dev.
Previously the VG metadata from the old dev was kept in
lvmcache and only the dev was replaced.
A new config setting devices/allow_changes_with_duplicate_pvs
can be set to 0 which disallows modifying a VG or activating
LVs in it when the VG contains PVs with duplicate devices.
Set to 1 is the old behavior which allowed the VG to be
changed.
The logic for which of two devs is preferred has changed.
The primary goal is to choose a device that is currently
in use if the other isn't, e.g. by an active LV.
. prefer dev with fs mounted if the other doesn't, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't
If neither device is preferred by these rules, then don't
change devices in lvmcache, leaving the one that was found
first.
The previous logic for preferring a device was:
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev without holders if the other has holders, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't

lvmetad: set disabled flag when duplicate PVs are seen
When duplicate PVs are detected, set the disabled
flag so that commands will disable use of lvmetad.
This duplicate detection is done by lvmetad itself
when it's told about a single new PV with a PVID
that matches an existing PV on another device.
(This is different from the case where the command
is scanning all devices and detects the duplicate.)
Remove the "altdev" logic that attempted to keep
track of multiple devices for a single PV. It
is no longer used since lvmetad is disabled in
this case.
