Subject: [PATCH] Avoid vgcfgrestore on thin volumes/pools

and any other unsupported volume types.

vgcfgrestore is not supposed to be able to restore any logical volumes
that use kernel metadata. All volume types except linear and striped use
kernel metadata. Main purpose of vgcfgrestore (with mandatory --force
option) is to let users fix existing thin-pool, not to recreate the pool
on empty disks. Do not even try vgcfgrestore on VGs that need any kernel
metadata, because it might lead to an inconsistent state (if there are
data that the kernel might interpret as LV metadata present on the disks).

For VGs that have any volume with kernel metadata and are thus
unsupported by vgcfgrestore, switch automatically to LV creation using
lvcreate, similarly to MIGRATION_MODE.

Avoid vgcfgrestore --force entirely, since it should not be needed now.

This mostly reverts changes in commits
311bfb3da1d5e47a2ff144123a2457e634f67893 and
1b779abfbf56693877fe666f56253ec623599674. The former code is preserved
and gets enabled if FORCE_VGCFGRESTORE=y. This option is on purpose
undocumented though and may be removed in the future.
