[lvm-devel] [PATCH] Replace is_long_lived with configuration variable read_cache_state.

This removes the last parameter from create_toolcontext() and
gives us a clean libLVM init API.
Original code was as follows. Callers of create_toolcontext()
were:
1) commandline tools (lvmcmdline.c). Set is_long_lived = 0.
2) clvmd. Set is_long_lived = 1.
is_long_lived influenced both reading and writing of the
persistent devices cache. I propose going forward we only
use the two explicit configuration variables to do this,
1) write_cache_state (already exists) and 2) read_cache_state.
For reading the persistent devices cache, read_cache_state is
== !is_long_lived (original code read the cache only
when !is_long_lived). For writing the cache, the caller/user
must set write_cache_state.
We set read_cache_state to 1 by default, which matches the
original behavior of the tools, but not clvmd, for reading the
cache. To replace original clvmd behavior, we will need another
API most likely or explicitly set the variable before calling
create_toolcontext().
