Bug#562234: Cache file location in violation of FHS

[Alasdair G Kergon]

/etc/lvm has several functions.

Read-only config - leave it where it is.

cache_dir - in general can be cleared on each boot so a tmpfs location
would be fine or /var/cache or something

Metadata backups 
ideally would be stored persistently outside lvm but otherwise 
/var/backups sounds OK

(The locations of the *writeable* parts are configurable from
inside the *readable* part.)

*Not* in general.  It's unsafe for general use but works under certain
undocumented configurations.
