Add lvm_lv_get_property() generic function to obtain value of any lv propert

Add a generic LV property function to lvm2app, similar to VG function.
Return lvm_property_value and require caller to check 'is_valid' flag
and lvm_errno() for API error.

 /**
+ * Get the value of a LV property
+ *
+ * \memberof lv_t
+ *
+ * \param   lv
+ * Logical volume handle.
+ *
+ * \param   name
+ * Name of property to query.  See lvs man page for full list of properties
+ * that may be queried.
+ *
+ * The memory allocated for a string property value is tied to the vg_t
+ * handle and will be released when lvm_vg_close() is called.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *      lvm_property_value v;
+ *      char *prop_name = "seg_count";
+ *
+ *      v = lvm_lv_get_property(lv, prop_name);
+ *      if (!v.is_valid) {
+ *           printf("Invalid property name or unable to query"
+ *                  "'%s', errno = %d.\n", prop_name, lvm_errno(libh));
+ *           return;
+ *      }
+ *      if (v.is_string)
+ *           printf(", value = %s\n", v.value.string);
+ *	if (v.is_integer)
+ *           printf(", value = %"PRIu64"\n", v.value.integer);
+ *
+ * \return
+ * lvm_property_value structure that will contain the current
+ * value of the property.  Caller should check 'is_valid' flag before using
+ * the value.  If 'is_valid' is not set, caller should check lvm_errno()
+ * for specific error.
