It makes it possible to attach/load cache using volume types that have
non-standard constructors.

This allows to avoid allocating cleaner metadata section and effectively
save up to 20% of metadata memory footprint.

Cleaning policy is initialized on standby activate, after all the metadata
from primary cache is flushed and the actual recovery is being performed.
Thus initializing it earlier on standby attach is incorrect.

conf_meta->core_count is not modified during load/recovery in the latest
version. Thus in case of error in cores initialization, in order to
iterate over the initialized cores we must depend on core->added only,
regardles of conf_meta->core_count value. for_each_core() macro does
exactly this.

Set bit only on core addition and clean it on core removal.
This allows to avoid conf metadata modification in load / standby load
paths, which effectively prevents issues with metadata mismatch during
consequent standby activate attempts after initial activate failure.
Previously the first attempt changed the metadata, so on comparison with
metadata on drive failed on any following attempt, leading to inability
to activate the cache.

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.

Cleaning policy initializaton initializes metadata for all cache lines
anyway, so this step is not needed.

This prevents using up pool of seq numbers in normal mode and blocking
addition of any new cores.

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.
