metadata: remember parsing size of VG metadata

When creating lvm2 metadata for VG, lvm2 allocate some buffer,
and if buffer is not big enough, the buffer is 'reallocated' bigger,
and whole metadata creation is repeated until metadata fits.
We can try to use 'previous' metadata size as hint to reduce looping
here.
