Separate dm cache policy version string into 3 unsigned numbers
corresponding to major, minor and patchlevel and store them at the end
of the on-disk metadata so we know which version of the policy generated
the hints in case a future version wants to use them differently.

Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a
cache for a slower device such as a disk.
A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data
to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy
modules. The first general purpose module we have developed, called
"mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch. Other modules are
under development.
