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),
_avoid_pvs_with_other_images_of_lv() was missing code to prohibit
allocation when called with a just allocated MetaLV to prohibit
collaocation of the next allocated MetaLV on the same PV.

notify: Fix hang with lvm shell & --enable-notify-dbus
When lvm is compiled with --enable-notify-dbus and a user uses lvm
shell, after they issue 200+ commands the lvm shell will hang for
~30 seconds trying to notify the lvm dbus service that a change
has occurred. This appears to be caused by resource exhaustion,
because the sockets used for dbus communication are not be closed.

config: add support for CFG_DISALLOW_INTERACTIVE flag to mark settings as not suitable for override in interactive mode
Some settings are not suitable for override in interactive/shell
mode because such settings may confuse the code and it may end
up with unexpected behaviour. This is because of the fact that
once we're in the interactive/shell mode, we have already applied
some settings for the shell itself and we can't override them
further because we're already using those settings to drive the
interactive/shell mode. Such settings would get ignored silently
or, in worse case, they would mess up the existing configuration.

lvm: shell: extend log report to cover whole lvm shell's main loop
When lvm commands are executed in lvm shell, we cover the whole lvm
command execution within this shell now. That means, all messages logged
and status caught during each command execution is now recorded in the
log report, including overall command's return code.
The dm_report_group_output_and_pop_all calls dm_report_output and
dm_report_group_pop for all the items that are currently in report
group. This is just a shortcut that makes it easier to output and
pop group's content so the group handle can be reused again without
a need to initialize and configure it again.
The functionality of dm_report_group_output_and_pop_all is the
same as dm_report_destroy but without destroying the report group
handle.

libdm: report: add dm_report_destroy_rows
Calling dm_report_destroy_rows makes it possible to destroy any report
content we have but at the same time it doesn't destroy the report
handle itself, thus it's possible to reuse that handle again for new
report content.
Functionally, this is the same as calling dm_report_output with the
report handle but omitting the output iself. This functionality may
be useful if we, for whatever reason, need to discard the report
content and start a fresh new one but with the same report configuration
and initialization and thus we can just reuse the existing handle.

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.
This does not apply to any of existing code, but subsequent patches
will need that.

log: separate output and make it possible to use given FDs
Currently, the output is separated in 3 parts and each part can go into
a separate and user-defined file descriptor:
- common output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_OUT_FD environment variable)
- error output (stderr by default, customizable by LVM_ERR_FD environment variable)
- report output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_REPORT_FD environment variable)
For example, each type of output goes to different output file:
[0] fedora/~ # cat err
Volume group "vg" not found
Cannot process volume group vg
[0] fedora/~ # cat report
LV VG Attr LSize Layout Role CTime

Another example in LVM shell where the report goes to "report" file:
RAID6 LVs may not be created with --nosync or data corruption
may occur in case of device failures. The underlying MD raid6
personality used to drive the RaidLV performs read-modify-write
updates on stripes and thus relies on properly written parity
(P and Q Syndromes) during initial synchronization.
Once on it, enhance test to create/extend more and
larger RaidLVs and check sync/nosync status.
Tests exposed a kernel semantics change freezing resynchronization
on conversions from raid0[_meta] -> raid4 or adding raid1 legs
because kernel kept the RAID mapped device in 'frozen' state unless
an 'idle' message was sent or the table was reloaded (kernel patch pending).

man: explain deletion of 1st group member in dmstats.8.in
Although the use of the first region_id in a group to store the
DMS_GROUP=... aux_data tag is an internal implementation detail,
it has a user visible consequence in that deleting this region will
cause the group to disappear: add an explanation of this to the
'group' command and 'Regions, areas, and groups' section.
The MD raid6 personality being used to drive lvm raid6 LVs does
read-modify-write updates to any stripes and thus relies on correct
P and Q Syndromes being written during initial synchronization or
it may fail reconstructing proper user data in case of SubLVs failing.
We may not allow the '--nosync' option on
creation of raid6 LVs for that reason.

lvmcmdline: do not refresh whole cmd context if profile dropped after processing LVM cmd
We don't need to refresh whole cmd context if we drop profile after
processing LVM command - just like we don't refresh cmd context when
we're applying the profile. It's because profiles contain only safe
subset of settings which do not require complete cmd context refresh.
This patch calls process_profilable_config instead of
refresh_toolcontext if there was profile applied for the LVM
command only, not --config which requires toolcontext refresh.
The process_profilable_config just sets proper values based on
values of profilable settings, but it does not do complete
reinitialization of various parts (e.g. filters, logging etc.).
lvchange: Allow device specification when requesting a repair
'lvchange --resync LV' or 'lvchange --syncaction repair LV' request the
RAID layout specific parity blocks in raid4/5/6 to be recreated or the
mirrored blocks to be copied again from the master leg/copy for raid1/10,
thus not allowing a rebuild of a particular PV.
Introduce repeatable option '--[raid]rebuild PV' to allow to request
rebuilds of specific PVs in a RaidLV which are known to contain corrupt
data (e.g. rebuild a raid1 master leg).
Add test lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh to test/shell doing rebuild
variations on raid1/10 and 5; add aux function check_status_chars
to support the new test.
lvconvert: Provide entry point for new functionality.
Prepare for new segment type conversion functionality in cases that

vg_validate: new RAID segment checks in check_lv_segments()

Hence only run these checks when the complete_vg flag
is set on calls to check_lv_segments().
lvconvert failed in test lvconvert-thin-raid.sh when
calling check_lv_segments() from _read_segments() without
providing a complete definition.
