testsuite: Add and document a 'should' for "idle" -> "recover" RAID test
When a "recover" is just starting for a RAID LV, it is possible to get
"idle" for the sync action if the status is issued quickly enough. This
is fine, the MD thread just hasn't gotten things going yet. However,
the /need/ for a "recover" should be marked in md->recovery and it would
be simple enough to fix the kernel so this doesn't happen. May eventually
want a separate bug for this, but for now it fits with RHBZ 1507719.

lv_manip: hide layered LV temporarily
Since vg_validate() now rejects LVs without segments and
insert_layer_for_segments_on_pv() gets just created
'layer_lv' without segment, it needs to be hidden
from vg->lvs during processing of _align_segment_boundary_to_pe_range()
as this function calls lv_validate() and now requires
vg to be consistent. LV is then put back into vg->lvs.

test: clean-up failing test case and document 'should' cases
There are two known bugs in the lvconvert-raid-status-validation.sh
test. The first one I consider to be more of an annoyance (1507719).
The second one I consider to be more serious (1507729).
RHBZ 1507719 simply documents the fact that the three RAID status
fields may not always be coherent due to the way they are set and
unset when the MD thread is shutting down and starting up. For
example, the sync ratio may be 100% but the sync action may not
yet have switched to "idle" and the health characters may not yet
all be 'A's (i.e. the devices set to InSync).
RHBZ 1507729 is more serious. The sync ratio can be 100% for a
short period of time after upconverting linear -> RAID1. It is
reset to 0 once the MD sync thread gets to work on it. It does
this because, technically, the array /is/ in-sync if the new
devices are excluded - i.e. the data is 100% available and
consistent. I'm not sure what to do about this problem, but we'd
much rather not have this state that looks exactly like the
end of the process when the sync ratio is 100% because the
"recover" process finished, but the sync action and health
characters haven't been updated yet. Put simply, the problem
is that we can't tell if a sync is starting or finished based
on the status output.
Since 4fa5add6b1bd4d7f7313f2950021a09e4130ad08 ("pvcreate: Wipe cached
bootloaderarea when wiping label.") label_remove is responsible
for the lvmcache_del. (toollib and liblvm need fixing to share
the code.)

thin: fix merging messages
Correct reported message when thin snapshot has been already merged.
So lvm2 is no longer reporting "Mergins of snapshot X will occur..."
(even with swapped names).
When an ignored metadata area gets flagged for use again, make sure the
code doesn't try to parse its old metadata. Firstly by trying to detect
this situation and skipping the read (while still remembering the
position reached in the circular buffer), and secondly by clearing the
invalid live metadata location on disk as a precaution when subsequently
writing out the precommitted metadata.
Problems showed up when a metadata area in one VG got moved to
another VG in ignored state (still holding metadata for the original
VG) and then later got brought into use in the new VG - only the header
should be read in this case, not any of the metadata content.
vgsplit shares the vg_rename code so that must only set the PV_MOVED_VG
flag introduced in commit 486ed108481cfbe4336f0fa590cbae251188ecc6
("vgmerge: Fix intermediate metadata corruption") on PVs that moved.
Converting from one raid level to another, no changes
of stripes or stripesize can be requested because those
are subject to reshaping. I.e. the process requires to
takeover first and secondly request raid algorithm,
stripe or stripesize changes.
Ignore any related changes display warninngs
and proceed with the takeover.
Without this patch, a takeover requesting
stripesize change causes data corruption!

lvcreate: skip checking for name restriction for caching
lvcreate supports a 'conversion' when caching LV.
This normally worked fine, however in case passed LV was
thin-pool's data LV with suffix _tdata we have failed to early.
As the easiest fix looks dropping validation of name when
caching type is select - such name check will happen later
once the VG is opened again and properly detect if the LV
with protected name already exists and can be converted,
or will be rejected as ambigiuous operation requiring user
to specify --type cache | --type cache-pool.

activation: fix activation lock
Activation lock has a primary purpose to serialize locking of individual
LV in case there is no other protecting mechanism for parallel
execution.
However in the case an activated LV is composed from several other LVs,
noone should be able to manipulate with those LVs as well.
This patch add a very 'naive' global VG activation locking in this case.
In the future we may introduce smarter function detecting minimal closed
graph components if this will appear as bottleneck
Patch checks if the VG Write lock is held - in this case we do not
need any more locking - command has exclusive access to VG.
In case we have clustered VG and we are activating an LV which does not
need other LVs - we also do not need any more locks.
In all other cases take respective lock - for single LV - use lvid,
for complex LVs use vgname.
When merging, splitting or renaming VGs, use a new PV status flag
PV_MOVED_VG to mark the PVs that hold metadata with the old VG name and
use this to provide PV-level granularity instead of incorrectly assuming
all PVs in the VG are the same.
This will cause the dmeventd to be properly stopped at shutdown (after
all the dmeventd clients unregistered their devices from monitoring)
with dm-event.service's stop action (there's no direct action defined
for the "stop" so systemd sends SIGTERM instead).
Before, we let dmeventd to get killed only as part of the very last
SIGTERM/SIGKILL for all the remaining processes late in the shutdown
sequence so we may have missed some logs if dmeventd encountered an
error during its shutdown (logging facilities are already off at this
late time in shutdown sequence).

dmeventd: schedule exit on break
When dmeventd receives SIGTERM/INT/HUP/QUIT it validates if exit is possible.
If there was any device still monitored, such exit request used to
be ignored/refused. This 'usually' worked reasonably well, however if there
is very short time period between last device is unmonitored and signal
reception - there was possibility such EXIT was ignored, as dmeventd has
not yet got into idle state even commands like 'vgchange -an' has already
finished.
This patch changes logic towards scheduling EXIT to the nearest
point when there is no monitored device.
EXIT is never forgotten.
NOTE: if there is only a single monitored device and someone sends
SIGTERM and later someone uses i.e. 'lvchange --refresh' after
unmonitoring dmeventd will exit and new instance needs to be
started.

lvmdbusd: Main thread exception logging
Make sure that any and all code that executes in the main thread is

Changing the VG of a PV uses the same on-disk mechanism as vgrename.
This relies on recognising both the old and new VG names. Prior to this
patch the vgsplit code incorrectly provided the new VG name twice
instead of the old and new ones. This lead the low-level mechanism not
to recognise the device as already belonging to a VG and so paying no
attention to the location of its existing metadata, sometimes partly
overwriting it and then later trying to read the corrupt metadata and
