[linux-lvm] [PATCH] rename 'mirror_region_size' to the more generic 'raid_region_size'

Someone was asking about the default region_size for RAID5 LVs on IRC.
I think it is somewhat confusing to refer them to 'mirror_region_size'
for this.  So, I've changed the name of this setting.

Thoughts?

clean-up:  Rename lvm.conf setting 'mirror_region_size' to 'raid_region_size'

We have been using 'mirror_region_size' in lvm.conf as the default region
size for RAID logical volumes as well as mirror logical volumes.  Since,
"raid" is more inclusive and representative than "mirror", I have changed
the name of this setting.  We must still check for the old setting and warn
the user if we are overriding it with the new setting if both happen to be
present.
