[lvm-devel] [PATCH 1/11] lvconvert takes '--wait' instead of '--background'

Remove '--background' option and add '--wait' option to lvconvert.

Recent change in lvconvert let it starts polling the conversion by default
for adding mirror(s).
'--background' is an option to immediately exit from the command and
do the polling in background.

The option was inherited from pvmove.
However, since lvconvert used to exit immediately and it still does
for different types of conversion (e.g. linear to mirror conversion),
it's more consistent and intuitive to add '--wait' option for foreground
polling and do it in background by default.
