To allow the fastest switching from the passive-standby to active mode, the
runtime metadata must be kept 100% synced with the metadata on the drive and in
the RAM thus recovery is required after each collision section update.
To avoid long-lasting recovering of all the cachelines each time the collision
section is being updated, the passive update procedure recovers only those
which have its MD entries on the updated pages.

Starting cache in a standby mode requires access to a valid cleaning policy
type. If the policy is stored only in the superblock, it may be overridden by
one of the metadata passive updates.
To prevent losing the information it should be stored in cache's runtime
metadata.

Initializing cleaning policy is very time consuming. To reduce the time required
for activating cache instance the initialization sholud be done during passitve

Since part of the recovery is done during `standby init`, the correct shutdown

The unsafe mode is useful if the metadata of added cores is incomplete.
Such scenario is possible when starting cache to standby mode from partially
vaild metadata.

Make sure all the invalid cachelines have reset status bits. This allows to
recognize invalid cachelines easily during populate.

Recovery during passive start is based on the assuption that metadata collision
section stored on disk might be partially valid. Reseting this data would make
rebuilding metadata impossible.
