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.
