[lvm-devel] [PATCH 1 of 2] Improve mirror DSO's failure logging

The mirror target has the following device states. The mirror DSO
(daemons/dmeventd/plugins/mirror/dmeventd_mirror.c) doesn't know any of these
states. This patchs adds these states to the DSO for better error reporting.

	A => Alive - No failures
	D => Dead - A write failure occurred leaving mirror out-of-sync
	S => Sync - A sychronization failure occurred, mirror out-of-sync
	R => Read - A read failure occurred, mirror data unaffected
