[libvirt] [PATCH 4/4] logical: Display thin lv's found in a libvirt managed volume group

[John Ferlan]

Modify the regex for the 'devices' (a/k/a 'extents') from "(\\S+)"
(e.g., 1 or more) to "(\\S*)" (e.g., zero or more).

Then for any "thin" lv's found, mark the volume as a sparse volume so
that the volume wipe algorithm doesn't work.

Since a "thin" segtype has no devices, this will result in any "thin"
lv part of some thin-pool within a volume group used as a libvirt pool
to be displayed as a possible volume to use.

NB:
Based on a proposal authored by Joe Harvell <joe.harvell at tekcomms.com>,
but with much intervening rework, the resulting patch is changed from
the original concept. About all that remains is changing the regex and
checking for NULL/empty field during parse.
