Add support for "snapshot-merge" target.
Introduces new libdevmapper function dm_tree_node_add_snapshot_merge_target
Verifies that the kernel (dm-snapshot) provides the 'snapshot-merge'
target.
Activate origin LV as snapshot-merge target. Using snapshot-origin
target would be pointless because the origin contains volatile data
while a merge is in progress.
Because snapshot-merge target is activated in place of the
snapshot-origin target it must be resumed after all other snapshots
(just like snapshot-origin does) --- otherwise small window for data
corruption would exist.
Ideally the merging snapshot would not be activated at all but if it is
to be activated (because snapshot was already active) it _must_ be done
after the snapshot-merge. This insures that DM's snapshot-merge target
will perform exception handover in the proper order (new->resume before
old->resume). DM's snapshot-merge does support handover if the reverse
sequence is used (old->resume before new->resume) but DM will fail to
resume the old snapshot; leaving it suspended.
To insure the proper activation sequence dm_tree_activate_children() was
updated to accommodate an additional 'activation_priority' level. All
regular snapshots are 0, snapshot-merge is 1, and merging snapshot is 2.
