In fact I've had there some different names - like remote_vgs, needed_vgs,
deps_vgs....
but I could not decide - and as we now already have  pvs, lvs,   vgs seems to
be natural extension of naming concept.

vgs - is list of vgnames and flags for openning, including the vg itself -
thus remote_vgs doesn't fit. Needed - seems plain ugly.

So I'm open for new names here - note there are some manipulation functions
which should also use this name.
