[lvm-devel][PATCH 2/4] Use udev flags in LVM

We don't want to create the symlinks in /dev/<vgname> and /dev/disk for invisible or
non-top-level devices. However, we still need some of them to be initialised, so we
need them to be visible for a while (for example the "_mlog"). But we can't distinguish
this situation without any further information in udev rules (so we don't know when
the symlinks should be and when it should not be created). Therefore, we use the udev
flags encoded in the cookie value to pass this information into the udev rules.

Also, we need to increase the symlink priority for origin devices so they won't be
overwritten by snapshots when the symlink has the same name (e.g. a symlink name
based on FS UUID in /dev/disk/by-uuid directory).

I've added and exported a function called "dm_tree_add_new_dev_udev_flags" which 
is a wrapper around "dm_tree_add_new_dev". The flags are stored in tree node
structure (for each device separately) so when the tree is traversed we can
pass this information into dm_task_set_cookie then.
