hmmm - now the 'error.h' change.

So far nothing in the /lib  was using this. The API here is - 1 Ok, 0 False.

However now the code inside /lib  would have start to generate errors not 
really related to current /lib functionality - i.e.  command failure,

command line args parsing problems and many other pieces which so far belongs 
to /tools.   So the plain code move doesn't work here.

The issue is of course bigger - since the current   1/0  internal lvm logic 
doesn't support well the public API where you really want to know the 'reason' 
for failure - which ATM is just logged with log_error() deeply from 
liblvm/libdm code.


We need here some decision  -  I guess - the best would be probably to define
the list of error codes we want to expose to the lvm2api users first.

Should the API user know about dm errors?
Parameter errors ?
Memory errors ?
Internal errors ?
