thin: enforce there is some free space in thin pool metadata

Unconditionally guard there is at least 1/4 of metadata volume
free (<16Mib) or 4MiB - whichever value is smaller.

In case there is not enough free space do not let operation proceed and
recommend thin-pool metadata resize (in case user has not
enabled autoresize, manual 'lvextend --poolmetadatasize' is needed).

 Version 2.02.166 - 
 =====================================
+  Enforce 4MiB or 25% metadata free space for thin pool operations.
   Fix lock-holder device for thin pool with inactive thin volumes.
   Use --alloc normal for mirror logs even if the mimages were stricter.
   Use O_DIRECT to gather metadata in lvmdump.
