Update lvm.h to address feeback.
This addresses a a large amount of Alasdair's review. Subsequent patches
will address remaining issues.
Addressed:
// FIXME Mention that's also required on error.
// FIXME Be consistent in terminology. It's called "system_dir" then last sentence says "system directory setting". Is it referring to "system_dir" there or something else?
// FIXME Mention it frees all resources and cannot be used subsequently?
// FIXME What does "any system configuration" mean?
// FIXME Expand on that explanation a bit, now that we know what the other fns look like.
// FIXME Not sure about that - it needs to scan sometimes. "will not" or "might not" ?
// FIXME: That's a FIXME in the code!!!
// FIXME What does "copied" mean in this context???
// FIXME Say what struct the returned struct dm_list is a list of...
// FIXME "This API" ? This function creates an object in memory?
// FIXME This function commits the Volume Group object referenced by the VG handle to disk?
// FIXME Where is "Name" defined? Absolute pathname?
Outstanding:
// FIXME Version function first? No structs or handles needed for that.
// FIXME Sort out this alignment. "Set an" directly below "system_dir" looks awful. Indent differently? More blank lines?
// FIXME Check how doxygen processes this. E.g. "return: LVM handle. You must use lvm_error() to check there were no errors and confirm that the handle is valid for passing to other functions."

Add lvm_config_override - allow caller to override config, similar to --config.
Allowing the caller to override the LVM configuration with an API will
enable them to use things such as device filters.
While very flexible, there is some danger to this API in that it will
make it harder to debug setups that have a changing config and deduce
what might have happened. At some point we may want to limit the scope
of this API but for now it is as open as the --config option to lvm commands.
Update exported symbols. When I renamed lvm_reload_config to lvm_config_reload
I forgot to rename so I renamed that one here.
This I believe is the last liblvm API for now. ;-)

Add vg_reduce to metadata.c and metadata-exported.h
This function behaves a little bit different than vg_reduce_single, because
it allowes to remove even the latest pv. This has been done to be consistent

removed_pvs has been added to the volume_group struct. vg_reduce adds remove

Initialize removed_pvs list in format-specific volume_group constructors.
Ideally, we should have a base constructor here that initializes the general
non-format specific members of struct volume_group. But until then, there
are multiple places to initialize these members. Maybe a better patch would
be a base constructor patch for struct volume_group. That is more work

Update error return and comments for lvm_list_vg_names/uuids.

Clean up and clarify the return value of the functions. In the

Refactor a few report field calculations into separate functions.
For liblvm 'get' functions, we should share code with the reporting functions.
This means we need common code to return the values for the fields.
In this patch we refactor a few of the fields needed in liblvm.
Unfortunately, for the simple fields that do derefernces of structure
members (for example, vg_extent_count), we cannot call the common function
from the reporting infrastructure without more refactoring. The reason is
that the dereference of the simple fields is done deep inside the reporting
code (to get the generic "data" pointer), and the display function is a
generic 'size32' function. We can fix these issues later with more
refactoring.
Should be no functional change and the testsuite should cover any possible
regressions. The only fields in the report affected by this patch are:
vg_size, vg_free, and pv_mda_count.
