lvmd: Create LVM D-Bus daemon + exposing LV getters

lvmd is a short live daemon that shuts down and is activated on
demand when other processes/daemons require running LVM commands.
There is no reason for lvmd to be up and running all the time and is
more resourceful to shutdown as D-Bus activation can be used to
transparently initialize lvmd when required.

lvmd is also created to limit the root like permissions/selinux
policies required to run LVM commands.

Expose D-Bus getter methods to read into logical volume related
information.

This directory (platform2/system_api) contains constants and definitions like D-Bus service names that are shared between Chromium and Chromium OS.

This directory is only for things like headers and .proto files. No implementation should be added.

When writting a .proto file make sure to use:

option optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME;

This will force usage of a lite protobuf instead of a full/heavy weight protobuf. The browser only links against the light version, so you will get cryptic link errors about missing parts of Message if you define a protobuf here and then try to use it in Chrome. Currently CrOS links against the full protobuffer library, but that might change in the future.

When declaring a protobuf, avoid use of required unless it is exactly what you mean. “Required is Forever” and very rarely should actually be used. Consult Protocol Buffer Basics: C++ for a detailed of this issue.
