narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens
in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding
them in creating help texts. This lead to a sequence
of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional
patches in aforementioned commit series.
On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator
created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens
in need of escaping.
Changes:
- revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator
streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating
help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in
- Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1)
in the respective Makefile targets
- remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any
static manual sources or headers

commands: fix commands with run with path basename
The recent command definitions commit took the command
name from argv[0] without applying basename to the value,
so a pathname, e.g. /usr/sbin, would cause lvm to not
recognize the command name.
The libdevmapper interface compares existing table line retrieved from
the kernel to new table line created to decide if it can suppress a reload.
Any difference between input and output of the table line is taken to be a
change thus causing a table reload.
The dm-raid target started to misorder the raid parameters (e.g. 'raid10_copies')
starting with dm-raid target version 1.9.0 up to (excluding) 1.11.0. This causes
runtime failures (limited to raid10 as of tests) and needs to be reversed to allow
e.g. old lvm2 uspace to run properly.
Check for the aforementioned version range in libdm and adjust creation of the table line
to the respective (mis)ordered sequence inside and correct order outside the range
(as described for the raid target in the kernels Documentation/device-mapper/dm-raid.txt).
Revert "raid: adjust to misordered raid table line output"
This reverts commit 1e4462dbfbd2bbe3590936df24b3ccd83110b158
in favour of an enhanced solution avoiding changes in liblvm
completetly by checking the target versions in libdm and emitting
the respective parameter lines.

commands: fix combined thin pool and vol create defs
Fixes command defs related to creating a new thin pool and
then a new thin lv in the new pool.
1. lvcreate --size --virtualsize --thinpool
Needs a cmd def, it was missing.
The def is unique by the three required
options: size, virtualsize and thinpool.
2. lvcreate --size --virtualsize --thinpool VG
Needs a cmd def, it was missing.
The def is unique by the three required
options: size, virtualsize and thinpool,
and one required positional arg: VG.
3. lvcreate --thin --virtualsize --size LV_new|VG
This existing def should not accept an optional
--type thin, which if used makes it indistinct
from another def.
4. lvcreate --size --virtualsize VG
This existing def should not accept an optional
--type thin or --thin, which if used makes it
indistinct from other defs (e.g. 3)

lvmdbusd: Limit state refreshes for udev events
Udev events can come in like a flood when something changes. It really
doesn't do us any good to refresh the state of the service numerous times
when 1 would suffice. We had something like this before, but it was
removed when we added the refresh thread. However, we have since learned
that we need to sequence events in the correct order and block dbus
operations if we believe the state has been affected, thus udev events are
being processed on the main work queue. This change limits spurious
work items from getting to the queue.

lvmdbusd: Only disable notify_dbus after getting external event
If we always disable the sending of notify dbus events then in the case
where all the users are lvm dbus users we will be in udev handling mode
until at least 1 external lvm command occurs. Instead we will not disable
notify dbus until after we get at least 1 external event. This makes the
service get into the correct mode of operation faster.

properties: only thin-pool provides discards
Quering non-thin-pool segment for discard property may lead
to intenal error if the segment had set 'out-of-range' value,
so only thin-pool is allowed, for other it returns NULL.
raid: conditionally reject convert to striped/raid0*
If SubLVs to be removed still exist after an image removing
conversion (i.e. "lvconvert --yes --force --stripes N "
with N < total stripes) any request to convert to a different
striped/raid* level has to be rejected until after those freed
SubLVs got removed by running the aforementioned lvconvert again.
Add tests to check conversion to striped/raid* gets rejected.
Enhance a test comment.
Adjust to final target version 1.10.1 supporting reshape
properly and to recently changed report field specifications
(e.g. rehape_len_le) to allow these tests to run.
Lower mirror region size to suite the tiny test VG.

lvconvert: disable lvmetad for repair
Repairing missing devices does not work reliably
with lvmetad, so disable lvmetad before repair.
A standard lvmetad refresh (pvscan --cache) will
enable lvmetad again.
dmeventd: reintroduce fix mirror DSO to work with lvmetad
Commit 07ded8059cbd assumed that the mirror is blocked which is not the case.
It is accessible, degraded and in need of repair because some of its legs
(partially) failed. Any auto-repair via dmeventd fails though because
of lvmetad not providing proper data about the failed PV(s). That's why
this workaround got introduced in commit 76f6951c3e8f until we get to
the lvmetad interaction core issue.
Mind any mirror auto-repair failure is caused by such lvmetad interaction
problems not yet solved so disabling lvmetad works as a resort as elaborated
on in the related bz.
For each section 8 man page, a .8_gen file is created from one of:
.8_main - Old-style man page - content used directly
.8_des and .8_end - Description and end section of a generated page
.8_pregen - Pre-generated page used if the generator fails
Other man sections are not generated and use the suffix .5_main or .7_main.
Developers should use 'make generate' to regenerate the .8_pregen files.
