Libguestfs - Jan 2016 - [PATCH v2] lvm: support lvm2 older than 2.02.107

lvm2 2.02.107 adds the -S/--select option used in lvs to filter out only
public LVs (see RHBZ#1278878).  To make this work again with versions
of lvm2 older than that, only on old versions filter out thin layouts
and compose the resulting device strings ourselves.

The filtering done is much simplier than what "-S lv_role=public" will
do, but should be good enough for our need.

I think this doesn't do the right thing on the second failing call
to test_lvs_has_S_opt, because it won't return a protocol error?

What's this bit for?  It is indeed NOTREACHED, but it seems as if
the 3 lines could just be removed.

Rest looks fine, so ACK with those fixed.

test_lvs_has_S_opt caches the result only if != -1, so if executing
"lvm lvs --help" fails then an error is replied and nothing is cached;
next time the command will be tried again.

It was a simple extra safety belt, since IIRC past versions of GCC
could not recognize such case was indeed not reachable. I guess this
can be added in case it is misreported.

lvm2 2.02.107 adds the -S/--select option used in lvs to filter out only
public LVs (see RHBZ#1278878).  To make this work again with versions
of lvm2 older than that, only on old versions filter out thin layouts
and compose the resulting device strings ourselves.

The filtering done is much simplier than what "-S lv_role=public" will
do, but should be good enough for our need.
