lvmetad: check udev for mpath component several times if udev record not initialized yet
It's possible (mainly during boot) that udev has not finished
processing the device and hence the udev database record for that
device is still marked as uninitialized when we're trying to look
at it as part of multipath component check in pvscan --cache code.
So check several times with a short delay to wait for the udev db
record to be initialized before giving up completely.

lvmetad: use udev to ignore multipath components during scan
When scanning devs to populate lvmetad during system startup,
filter-mpath with native sysfs multipath component detection
may not detect that a dev is multipath component. This is
because the multipath devices may not be set up yet.
Because of this, pvscan will scan multipath components during
startup, will see them as duplicate PVs, and will disable
lvmetad. This will leave lvmetad disabled on systems using
multipath, unless something or someone runs pvscan --cache
to rescan.
To avoid this problem, the code that is scanning devices to
populate lvmetad will now check the udev db to see if a
dev is a multipath component that should be skipped.
(This may not be perfect due to inherent udev races, but will
cover most cases and will be at least as good as it's ever
been.)

The lsblk is just a nice helper here - it's not crucial for lvmdump so

cache: do not monitor cache-pool
Avoid monitoring of activated cache-pool - where the only purpose ATM
is to clear metadata volume which is actually activate in place
of cache-pool name (using public LV name).
Since VG lock is held across whole clear operation, dmeventd cannot
be used anyway - however in case of appliction crash we may
leave unmonitored device.
In future we may provide better mechanism as the current name
replacemnet is creating 'uncommon' table setups in case the metadata
LV is more complex type like raid (needs some futher thinking about
error path results).
Another point to think about is the fact we should not clear device
while holding lock (i.e. dmeventd mirror repair cannot work in cases
like this).

conf: fix typo in report/columns_as_rows config option name recognition
Commit e947c362dd0ae1da2d76925fe6b38244c5f46d25 introduced
config_settings.h file for central place to store all definitions for
config options. By mistake, it used report/colums_as_rows instead
of report/columns_as_rows (missing "n" in "columns").
a579ba2ac27d fixed a regression causing a segfault if no external
origin existed but broke the logic leading to erroneous error
messages and creations of split off exported VGs in case the
external origin and the pool LVs were allocated on different PVs.
Creating a RaidLV in VGs with very small extent sizes caused
late failure in the kernel giving a not very informative error
message. Catch the attempt early and display failure message
'Unable to create RAID LV: requires minimum VG extent size 4.00 KiB'.
pvmove: prohibit non-resilient collocation of RAID SubLVs
'pvmove -n name pv1 pv2' allows to collocate multiple RAID SubLVs
on pv2 (e.g. results in collocated raidlv_rimage_0 and raidlv_rimage_1),
thus causing loss of resilence and/or performance of the RaidLV.
Fix this pvmove flaw leading to potential data loss in case of PV failure
by preventing any SubLVs from collocation on any PVs of the RaidLV.
Still allow to collocate any DataLVs of a RaidLV with their sibling MetaLVs
and vice-versa though (e.g. raidlv_rmeta_0 on pv1 may still be moved to pv2
already holding raidlv_rimage_0).
Because access to the top-level RaidLV name is needed,
promote local _top_level_lv_name() from raid_manip.c
to global top_level_lv_name().
raid_manip: add missing code avoiding MetaLV collocation on the same PV
Adding MetaLVs to given DataLVs (e.g. raid0 -> raid0_meta takeover),

allocation when called with a just allocated MetaLV to prohibit

a need to initialize and configure it again.

lvmcmdline: return 0/NULL if cmd->arg_values not set and arg_count/grouped_arg_count/arg_value called
We may call arg_count/grouped_arg_count/arg_value soon enough that
cmd->arg_values is not set yet.
Normally, when running a command, we execute lvm_run_command which in
turn calls _process_command_line to allocate and parse the command line
values and stores them in cmd->arg_values.
However, if we run lvm shell, this one doesn't accept any command line
options and we parse the command line for each command that is executed
within the lvm shell then. If we used any code that tries to access
cmd->arg_values through any of the the arg handling functions too
early, we could end up with a segfault due to uninitialized (NULL)
cmd->arg_values.
This patch just saves extra checks in all the code where arg handling
may be called too early so that the cmd->arg_values is not set up yet.
