Introduce memory pool per volume group.
Since now, all code reading volume group is responsible for releasing
the memory allocated by calling vg_release(vg).
(For simplicity of use, vg_releae can be called for vg == NULL,
the same logic like free(NULL)).
Also providing simple macro for unlocking & releasing in one step,
tools usualy uses this approach.
The global memory pool (cmd->mem) should be used only for global
physical volume operations.
This patch have to be applied with all subsequent patches to complete
memory pool per vg logic.
Using separate memory pool has quite bit memory saving impact when
using large VGs, this is mainly needed when we have to use
preallocated and locked memory (and should not overflow from that
memory space).

Properly copy the whole pv structure for later use.
The all_pvs list, used in vg_read, should make its own private
copy of pv structures, otherwise (when vg will use its own pool)
it will point to released memory pool.
The same applies for get_pvs() call.
Patch adds pv_list copy helper and adds explicit memory pool
parameter into _copy_pv.
(Please note that all these helper functions cannot guarantee that
vg related fields are valid - proper vg read & lock must be used
if it is requested.)

Enable use of cached metadata for pvs & pvdisplay.
Currently PV commands, which performs full device scan, repeatly
re-reads PVs and scans for all devices.
This behaviour can lead to OOM for large VG.
This patch allows using internal metadata cache for pvs & pvdisplay,
so the commands scan the PVs only once.
(We have to use VG_GLOBAL otherwise cache is invalidated on every
VG unlock in process_single PV call.)

Fix some clean rules, fix previous distclean checkin.
In libdm/Makefile.in, we need to cleanup the symlink properly.
Adding to CLEAN_TARGETS seemed like the simplest way to do this
in the current build framework. We could redo dependencies for
VERSIONED_SHLIB, but for now just add to CLEAN_TARGETS.
For scripts/Makefile.in, we should be adding to DISTCLEAN_TARGETS.
The generic rule in make.tmpl.in takes care of the cleanup.

Fix lv_count when manipulating with snapshots and max_lv is set.
Patch fixes these problems:
- during the snapshot creation process, it needs create 2 LVs,
one is cow, second becomes snapshot.
If the code fails in vg_add_snapshot, code lvcreate will not remove
LV cow volume.
- if max_lv is set and VG contains snapshot, it can happen that
during the activation lv_count is temporarily increased over the limit
and VG metadata are not properly processed
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490298
- vgcfgrestore alows restore with max_lv set to lower valuer that actual
LV count. This later leads to situation that max_lv is completely ignored.
- vgck doesn't call vg_validate(). It should at least try:-)

Remove unnecessary includes in lvm_base.c.
We would like to declare our handles pv_t, vg_t, and lv_t in
the external library header lvm.h. However, these are already
defined in metadata-exported.h for the use of some of the
in-progress liblvm APIs. Thus, we cannot both define
them in lvm.h and include metadata-exported.h in the external
library C files. We could use preprocessor tricks (#ifndef)
but for now we just avoid the include.

Fixed bug where lvresize option -t was not properly passed to fsadm.
Using argv[] list in exec_cmd() to allow more params for external commands.
Fsadm does not allow checking mounted filesystem.
Fsadm no longer accepts 'any other key' as 'no' answer to y/n.
Fsadm improved handling of command line options.

Added files lib/lvm.h and lib/lvm_base.c:
New structure lvm (used as an alias to cmd_context), new type definition lvm_t

lvm_reload_config using the new handle.

Add --dataalignment to pvcreate to specify alignment of data area. (mbroz)
This patch is not fully tested and leaves some related bugs unfixed.
Intended behaviour of the code now:
pe_start in the lvm2 format PV label header is set only by pvcreate (or
vgconvert -M2) and then preserved in *all* operations thereafter.
In some specialist cases, after the PV is added to a VG, the pe_start
field in the VG metadata may hold a different value and if so, it
overrides the other one for as long as the PV is in such a VG.
Currently, the field storing the size of the data area in the PV label
header always holds 0. As it only has meaning in the context of a
volume group, it is calculated whenever the PV is added to a VG (and can
be derived from extent_size and pe_count in the VG metadata).

Fix interrupt unblocking after vgcreate, for example: drop_cached_metadata()
previously left _vg_lock_count incremented.
Other locks are always held during drop_cached_metadata() so there's no
need to increment+decrement it.

Re-implement the test harness in C. This lets us pass through signals and
trigger proper test teardown upon harness interrupt or termination. I also
tweaked the output somewhat while I was at it...
