config: remove duplication of settings

The specific config settings have been removed
from the lvm.conf(5) man page, and replaced with
a description of how to use lvm dumpconfig to
view the settings.

The sample lvm.conf and lvmlocal.conf files are now generated:

example.conf.base  - initial ungenerated part of the file
example.conf.gen   - generated portion from dumpconfig
example.conf.in    - combination of .base and .gen files
example.conf       - result of configure processing .in file

lvmlocal.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
lvmlocal.conf.gen  - generated portion from dumpconfig
lvmlocal.conf.in   - combination of .base and .gen files
lvmlocal.conf      - result of configure processing .in file

Do not edit the .in files, but edit config_settings.h
or the .base files, and then use 'make generate' to create
the new .in files.

- configure
  with options

- make
  creates tools/lvm

- make generate
  uses tools/lvm to create example.conf.in and lvmlocal.conf.in
  by combining .base files with dumpconfig output.

- configure
  with same options as above
  creates example.conf and lvmlocal.conf from .in files
