With this change we now have vgcreate/vgextend liblvm functions.
Note that this changes the lock order of the following functions as the
orphan lock is now obtained first. With our policy of non-blocking
second locks, this should not be a problem.

Move orphan lock inside vg_remove_single.
Move the vg orphan lock inside vg_remove_single, now a complete liblvm
function. Note that this changes the order of the locks - originally
VG_ORPHAN was obtained first, then the vgname lock. With the current
policy of non-blocking second locks, this could mean we get a failure
obtaining the orphan lock. In the case of a vg with lvs being removed,
this could result in the lvs being removed but not the vg. Such a
scenario could have happened prior though with a different failure.
Other tools were examined for side-effects, and no major problems
were noted.

Remove force parameter from vg_remove_single, now the liblvm function.
Move check for active LVs outside of library function. The vgremove
liblvm function function will fail if there are active LVs. It will
be the application's responsibility to check this condition and remove
the LVs individually before calling vgremove. Note also that we've
duplicated the EXPORTED_VG check in vgremove_single (tools) and
vg_remove_single (library). Duplication seemed the only option here
since we don't want to do the automatic removal of LVs (in the tools)
if the vg is exported, and we still need to protect the library call
from removal if the vg is exported.
We still need to deal with the ORPHAN lock but vg_remove_single is now
very close to our liblvm function.

Fix confusing metadata syntax error messages.
If there is syntax error in metadata, it now prints messages
like:
Couldn't read 'start_extent' for segment 'extent_count'.
Couldn't read all logical volumes for volume group vg_test.
The segment specification is wrong and confusing.
Patch fixes it by introducing "parent" member in config_node which
points to parent section and config_parent_name function, which
provides pointer to node section name.
Also it adds several LV references where possible.
Change vg_create() to take only minimal parameters and obtain a lock.
vg_t *vg_create(struct cmd_context *cmd, const char *vg_name);
This is the first step towards the API called to create a VG.
Call vg_lock_newname() inside this function. Use _vg_make_handle()
where possible.
Now we have 2 ways to construct a volume group:
1) vg_read: Used when constructing an existing VG from disks
2) vg_create: Used when constructing a new VG
Both of these interfaces obtain a lock, and return a vg_t *.
The usage of _vg_make_handle() inside vg_create() doesn't fit
perfectly but it's ok for now. Needs some cleanup though and I've
noted "FIXME" in the code.
Add the new vg_create() plus vg 'set' functions for non-default
VG parameters in the following tools:
- vgcreate: Fairly straightforward refactoring. We just moved
vg_lock_newname inside vg_create so we check the return via
vg_read_error.
- vgsplit: The refactoring here is a bit more tricky. Originally
we called vg_lock_newname and depending on the error code, we either
read the existing vg or created the new one. Now vg_create()
calls vg_lock_newname, so we first try to create the VG. If this
fails with FAILED_EXIST, we can then do the vg_read. If the
create succeeds, we check the input parameters and set any new
values on the VG.
TODO in future patches:
1. The VG_ORPHAN lock needs some thought. We may want to treat
this as any other VG, and require the application to obtain a handle
and pass it to other API calls (for example, vg_extend). Or,
we may find that hiding the VG_ORPHAN lock inside other APIs is
the way to go. I thought of placing the VG_ORPHAN lock inside
vg_create() and tying it to the vg handle, but was not certain
this was the right approach.
2. Cleanup error paths. Integrate vg_read_error() with vg_create and
vg_read* error codes and/or the new error APIs.

Rename vg_change_pesize to vg_set_extent_size and use vg_t.
In liblvm, we will reserve the word 'change' to mean an API that
both sets one or more values, and commits to disk. This will be
consistent with the LVM commandline. The existing vg_change_pesize()
function does not commit to disk, but just changes the extent_size
and ensures all internal structures are updated. This logic should
be contained in a function that sets the value.

Update vg_change_pesize() to contain all validity checks.
It would be nice to have one function that does all the validation

are in the higher-level function _vgchange_pesize(), and some
checks are in the lower function vg_change_pesize().
This patch moves most of the higher-level checks inside
vg_change_pesize. In one case a failure return code is
changed from ECMD_FAILED to EINVALID_CMD_LINE.

Remove NON_BLOCKING lock flag from tools and set a policy to auto-set.
As a simplification to the tools and further liblvm, this patch pushes
the setting of NON_BLOCKING lock flag inside the lock_vol() call.
The policy we set is if any existing VGs are currently locked, we
set the NON_BLOCKING flag.
At some point it may make sense to add this flag back if we get an
RFE from a liblvm user, but for now let's keep it as simple as

Note that in the iterator paths (process_each_*()), we release

when vg_read_error() is true should be calling vg_release(vg), since
there should be no locks held if we get an error (except in certain
special cases, which IMO we should work to remove from the code).

In the new _vg_read_for_update(), we always do the check for CLUSTERED vg

Also, add back in the !lockingfailed() as part of the CLUSTERED flag check.

There was an open question about the last check in the 'if' stmt for

Support crypt segment in libdevmapper tree.
- it can support multiple segments, but note that
to work properly, correct IV (initialization vector)
offset parameter must be set properly.
Because most usage of IV start offset is when we join
several crypto segments together (so iv_offset is the segment
start offset), DM_CRYPT_IV_DEFAULT is defined to simplify
the process.
Function accepts the string in cipher agrument (already
including chainmode and iv type; chainmode and iv parameters are NULL
in this case) or user can provide split parameters which will
join into dm-crypt cipher specification "cipher-chainmode-iv".
All these parameters must be supplied in correct dm-crypt format.
Various tools need to check for existence of a VG before doing something
(vgsplit, vgrename, vgcreate). Currently we don't have an interface to
check for existence, but the existence check is part of the vg_read* call(s).
This patch is an attempt to pull out some of that functionality into a
separate function, and hopefully simplify our vg_read interface, and
move those patches along.
vg_lock_newname() is only concerned about checking whether a vg exists in
the system. Unfortunately, we cannot just scan the system, but we must first
obtain a lock. Since we are reserving a vgname, we take a WRITE lock on
the vgname. Once obtained, we scan the system to ensure the name does
not exist. The return codes and behavior is in the function header.
You might think of this function as similar to an open() call with
O_CREAT and O_EXCL flags (returns failure with -EEXIST if file already
exists).
NOTE: I think including the word "lock" in the function name is important,
as it clearly states the function obtains a lock and makes the code more
readable, especially when it comes to cleanup / unlocking. The ultimate
function name is somewhat open for debate though so later we may rename.

Fix double releasing of vg when repairing of vg is requested.
Several commands calls process_each_vg() and in provided
