Code like this that we want available to both dm components and LVM components
we *move* to libdevmapper.  So just take it out of lvm-file.c and put it into
libdm-file.c with a dm_ prefix on the name and the fn prototype in libdevmapper.h
in the "file/stream manipulation" section and a comment there that it's the
caller's responsibility to unlink the file before exiting.
