First try to clean only the mapping. This operation does not require any
rollback, so even if flushing collision fails, core object is still
intact. In case of error we inform user that core was not removed by
returning new error code (-OCF_ERR_CORE_NOT_REMOVED).
After flushing collision succeeds we remove core from metadata and
flush superblock at the end. At that point the core is fully removed
from OCF and even if superblock flush error occurs there is nothing we
can do about it, so we just return the error code.

The purpose of this change is not to write superblock to the cache
drive untill all other sections are initilized on disk in attach()
path. Combined with superblock clearing at the erarlier stage of
attach(), this assures there are no residual mappings in the collision
section in case of power failure during attach with pre-existing
metadata.
This is implemented by removing ocf_metadata_flush_all_set_status() step
at the beginning of ocf_metadata_flush_all().
ocf_metadata_flush_all() is called, except for the attach() case described
above, in two cases:
1. at the end of cache load - potentially after cache recovery
2. during detaching cache drive in cache stop.
To make sure there are no regressions in the first case, an explicit
_ocf_mngt_attach_shutdown_status() is added to load pipeline before
ocf_metadata_flush_all(). The second case is always ran after cache
drive is attached, so dirty status bit must have already be written to
the disk.

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.

2. the check is based on stale request info, so it is inaccurate,
3. it is easier to hit more paths with functional tests,
