Proposed F19 Feature: Add LVM Thin provisioning support to the yum-fs-snapshot plugin

= Features/YumFsSnapshotThinpSupport =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/YumFsSnapshotThinpSupport

Feature owner(s): Ondrej Kozina <okozina AT redhat DOT com>, Mike Snitzer

For the purposes of system rollback: Provide the ability to create a snapshot
of all thinly provisioned LVM2 volumes associated with FS mount points that
are relevant to a yum transaction.

== Detailed description ==
Yum's fs-snapshot plugin already has support for LVM2's old snapshots. LVM2's
new thinp snapshots offer much more performance and ease administration. It is
desirable to have the life-cycle of snapshots that are created by yum's fs-
snapshot plugin be managed by the snapper utility. As such it could be that
the yum fs-snapshot plugin is extend to provide a wrapper around snapper for
the creation of thinp based snapshots.
