dm vdo: add the top-level DM target
This adds the dm-vdo target. The dm-vdo target provides inline deduplication, compression, and zero-block elimination, allowing applications to consume less actual storage than a normal target. By layering it with other device mapper targets, it can add these features to any storage stack. It can also provide a common deduplication pool for groups of targets. The vdo target does not protect against data corruption, relying instead on integrity protection of the storage below it.
