For the curious:

  (1) When a new file is created (.cache) it inherits the selinux context from
its directory.  So we should not have read-only configuration files (lvm.conf)
in the same directory as a read-write cache file.

  (2) I took the opportunity to change the config options available in case we
decide we want more than one cache file - it's now directory plus prefix.
