Support rounding of percentage upward
We want to keep this logic - when LV is extend - extend the LV by at least given amount, when LV is reduced - reduce the LV by at most given amount. So for this the rounding needs to be used. Current logic which seems to satisfy give rule is to round up all extent values for LV resize upward except for values with '-' sign that are round downward. This patch also fixes the problem when lvextend --use-polices tried to extend LV the by i.e. 20% - but the resulting 20% were smaller the extent size thus before this patch no extension happened.
