TEST: Support testing new RAID features in RHEL6 kernels

We check the version number of dm-raid before testing certain
features to make sure they are present.  However, this has
become somewhat complicated by the fact that the version #'s
in the upstream kernel and the REHL6 kernel have been diverging.
This has been a necessity because the upstream kernel has
undergone ABI changes that have necessitated a bump in the
'Y' component of the version #, while the RHEL6 kernel has not.
Thus, we need to know that the ABI has not changed but the
features have been added.  So, the current version #'ing stands
as follows:

RHEL6   Upstream   Comment
======|==========|========
** Same until version 1.3.1 **
------|----------|--------
 N/A  |   1.4.0  | Non-functional change.
      |          | Removes arg from mapping function.
------|----------|--------
1.3.2 |   1.4.1  | RAID10 fix redundancy validation checks.
------|----------|--------
1.3.5 |   1.4.2  | Add RAID10 "far" and "offset" algorithm support.
      |          | Note this feature came later in RHEL6 as part of
      |          | a separate update/feature.
------|----------|--------
1.3.3 |   1.5.0  | Add message interface to allow manipulation of
      |          | the sync_action.
      |          | New status (STATUSTYPE_INFO) fields: sync_action
      |          | and mismatch_cnt.
------|----------|--------
1.3.4 |   1.5.1  | Add ability to restore transiently failed devices
      |          | on resume.
------|----------|--------
1.3.5 |   1.5.2  | 'mismatch_cnt' is zero unless [last_]sync_action
      |          | is "check".
------|----------|--------

To simplify, writemostly/writebehind, scrubbing, and transient device
failure restoration are all tested based on the same version
requirements: (1.3.5 < V < 1.4.0) || (V > 1.5.2).  Since kernel
support for writemostly/writebehind has been around for some time,
this could mean a reduction in the scope of kernels tested for this
feature.  I don't view this as much of a problem, since support for
this feature was only recently added to LVM.  Thus, the user would
have to be using a very recent LVM version with an older kernel.
