lvmetad: warn about making changes while not using lvmetad
If lvmetad is running, and a command opts to not use it
(--config global/use_lvmetad=0), and the command changes
metadata, then the metadata change is not visible to
lvmetad. Subsequent commands using lvmetad to change
metadata may cause corruption based on the invalid
lvmetad state.
Eventually we can set the disabled state in lvmetad
to prevent this problem, but for now print a warning
about the possibility.
