The problem (wrong label->dev after a new preferred
duplicate device is chosen) was isolated to the lvmetad
case (non-lvmetad worked fine), and this fixes the problem
by setting the new label->dev in the lvmetad-specific
code rather than in the general lvmcache code.

toollib: avoid repeated lvmetad vg_lookup
In process_each_{vg,lv,pv} when no vgname args are given,
the first step is to get a list of all vgid/vgname on the
system. This is exactly what lvmetad returns from a
vg_list request. The current code is doing a vg_lookup
on each VG after the vg_list and populating lvmcache with
the info for each VG. These preliminary vg_lookup's are
unnecessary, because they will be done again when the
processing functions call vg_read. This patch eliminates
the initial round of vg_lookup's, which can roughly cut in
half the number of lvmetad requests and save a lot of extra work.

lvm2app: Correct missing string properties
Synopsis: STR_LIST needs to be treated as STR for properties.
For any lvm property that was internally 'typed' as a string list we were failing
to return a string in the property API. This was due to the fact that for the
properties to work the value needs to either be evaulated as a string or a
number. This change corrects the macro used to build the memory array of
structures so that the string bitfield is set as needed to ensure that the value
is a string.

python: Check for NULL value before constructing string property
When retrieving a property value that is a string, if the character pointer in C
was NULL, we would segfault. This change checks for non-null before creating a
python string representation. In the case where the character pointer is NULL
we will return a python 'None' for the value.

python: Build correct python value for numerical property
With the lvm2app C API adding the ability to determine when a property is
signed we can then use this information to construct the correct representation
of the number for python which will maintain value and sign. Previously, we
only represented the numbers in python as positive integers.
Python long type exceeds the range for unsigned and signed integers, we just
need to use the appropriate parsing code to build correctly.
Python part of the fix for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838257
which assumes that numerical values were in the range of 0 to 2**64-1. However,
some of the properties were 'signed', like LV major/minor numbers and some
reserved values for properties that represent percentages. Thus when the
values were retrieved they were in two's complement notation. So for a -1
major number the API user would get a value of 18446744073709551615. The
API user could cast the returned value to an int64_t to handle this, but that
requires the API developer to look at the source code and determine when it
should be done.
This change modifies the return property structure to:
With this addition the API user can interrogate that the value is numerical,
(is_integer = 1) and subsequently check if it's signed (is_signed = 1) too.
If signed, then the API developer should use the union's signed_integer to
avoid casting.
This change maintains backwards compatibility as the structure size remains
unchanged and integer value remains unchanged. Only the additional bit
taken from the pad is utilized.

polldaemon: refactor polling interfaces
Routines responsible for polling of in-progress pvmove, snapshot merge

Especially pvmove used pvname to lookup pvmove in-progress. The future
lvmpolld will poll each operation by vg/lv name (internally by lvid).
Also there're plans to make pvmove able to move non-overlaping ranges
of extents instead of single PVs as of now. This would also require
to identify the opertion in different manner.
The poll_operation_id structure together with daemon_parms structure they
identify unambiguously the polling task.

Waiting even after _check_lv_status returned success and

Note that while we skip the wait() we also skip the

have no impact as long as the code after _wait_for_single_lv

lvmconfig: add supporting code for handling deprecated settings
This patch adds supporting code for handling deprecated settings.
Deprecated settings are not displayed by default in lvmconfig output
(except for --type current and --type diff). There's a new
"--showdeprecated" lvmconfig option to display them if needed.
Also, when using lvmconfig --withcomments, the comments with info
about deprecation are displayed for deprecated settings and with
lvmconfig --withversions, the version in which the setting was
deprecated is displayed in addition to the version of introduction.
If using --atversion with a version that is lower than the one
in which the setting was deprecated, the setting is then considered
as not deprecated (simply because at that version it was not
deprecated).
