thin: disallow creation of too big thin pools
When a combination of thin-pool chunk size and thin-pool data size
goes beyond addressable limit, such volume creation is directly
prohibited.
Maximum usable thin-pool size is calculated with use of maximal support
metadata size (even when it's created smaller) and given chunk-size.
If the value data size is found to be too big, the command reports
error and operation fails.
Previously thin-pool was created however lots of thin-pool data LV was
not usable and this space in VG has been wasted.
lvconvert: reject RAID conversions on inactive LVs
Only support RAID conversions on active LVs.
If we'd accept e.g. upconverting linear -> raid1 on inactive
linear LVs, any LV flags passed to the kernel aren't properly
cleared thus errouneously passing them on every activation.
Add respective check to lv_raid_change_image_count() and
move existing one in lv_raid_convert() for better messages.

If during the process of fetching current lvm state we experience an

lvmdbusd: Add background command to flight recorder
We were not adding background tasks to flight recorder. Add the meta
data to the flight recorder when we start the command and update the meta
data when the command is finished. Locking was added to meta data to
prevent concurrent update and returning string representation as these can
happen in two different threads.
vgreduce previously allowed --all and --removemissing together even though
it only actual did the remove missing. The lvm dbus daemon was passing
--all anytime there was no entries in pv_object_paths. This change supplies
--all if and only if we are not removing missing and the pv_object_paths
is empty.
Vgreduce has and continues to enforce the invalid combination of supplying a
device list when you specify --all or --removemissing so we do not need
to check for that invalid combination explicitly in the lvm dbus service as
it's already covered.

print warning about in-use orphans
Warn about a PV that has the in-use flag set, but appears in
the orphan VG (no VG was found referencing it.)
There are a number of conditions that could lead to this:
. The PV was created with no mdas and is used in a VG with
other PVs (with metadata) that have not yet appeared on
the system. So, no VG metadata is found by lvm which
references the in-use PV with no mdas.
. vgremove could have failed after clearing mdas but
before clearing the in-use flag. In this case, the
in-use flag needs to be manually cleared on the PV.
. The PV may have damanged/unrecognized VG metadata
that lvm could not read.
. The PV may have no mdas, and the PVs with the metadata
may have damaged/unrecognized metadata.

For backward compatiblity segtype flags are still accepted also

lvconvert: fix logic in automatic settings of possible (raid) LV types
Commit 5fe07d3574ddce3d194f0fa57af9028348a91008 failed to set raid5 types
properly on conversions from raid6. It always enforced raid6_ls_6

instead of 2 when asking for raid5_{la,rs,ra,n}.
lvconvert: enhance automatic settings of possible (raid) LV types
Offer possible interim LV types and display their aliases
(e.g. raid5 and raid5_ls) for all conversions between
striped and any raid LVs in case user requests a type
not suitable to direct conversion.
E.g. running "lvconvert --type raid5 LV" on a striped
LV will replace raid5 aka raid5_ls (rotating parity)
with raid5_n (dedicated parity on last image).
User is asked to repeat the lvconvert command to get to the
requested LV type (raid5 aka raid5_ls in this example)
when such replacement occurs.

lvchange: allow changing properties on thin pool data lv
Add an exception to not allowing lvchange to change properties
on hidden LVs. When a thin pool data LV is a cache LV, we
need to allow changing cache properties on the tdata sublv of
the thin pool.
Trap cases where the percentage calculation currently leads to an empty
LV and the message:
Internal error: Unable to create new logical volume with no extents
Additionally convert the calculated number of extents from physical to
logical when creating a mirror using a percentage that is based on
Physical Extents. Otherwise a command like 'lvcreate -m3 -l80%FREE'
can never leave any free space.
This brings the behaviour closer to that of lvresize.
(A further patch is needed to cover all the raid types.)
metadata: Fix metadata repair when devs still missing.
_check_reappeared_pv() incorrectly clears the MISSING_PV flags of
PVs with unknown devices.
While one caller avoids passing such PVs into the function, the other
doesn't. Move the check inside the function so it's not forgotten.
Without this patch, if the normal VG reading code tries to repair
inconsistent metadata while there is an unknown PV, it incorrectly
considers the missing PVs no longer to be missing and produces
incorrect 'pvs' output omitting the missing PV, for example.
Easy reproducer:
Create a VG with 3 PVs pv1, pv2, pv3.
Hide pv2.
Run vgreduce --removemissing.
Reinstate the hidden PV pv2 and at the same time hide a different PV
pv3.
Run 'pvs' - incorrect output.
Run 'pvs' again - correct output.
