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.

Management pipelines tend to consist of multiple asynchronous steps.
Allowing synchronous queue kick results in massive call stacks (e.g.
almost 500 functions deep in case of cache stop). Since async kick
is required anyway, it seems reasonable to switch to async kick
in pipeline implementation.
