Add option to auto-configure blkdev for devmapper

Instead of forcing users to manually configure a block device to use
with devmapper, this gives the user the option to let the devmapper
driver configure a device for them.

Adds several new options to the devmapper storage-opts:

- dm.directlvm_device="" - path to the block device to configure for
  direct-lvm
- dm.thinp_percent=95 - sets the percentage of space to use for
  storage from the passed in block device
- dm.thinp_metapercent=1 - sets the percentage of space to for metadata
  storage from the passed in block device
- dm.thinp_autoextend_threshold=80 - sets the threshold for when `lvm`
  should automatically extend the thin pool as a percentage of the total
  storage space
- dm.thinp_autoextend_percent=20 - sets the percentage to increase the
  thin pool by when an autoextend is triggered.

Defaults are taken from
[here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/storagedriver/device-mapper-driver/#/configure-direct-lvm-mode-for-production)

The only option that is required is `dm.directlvm_device` for docker to
set everything up.

Changes to these settings are not currently supported and will error
out.
Future work could support allowing changes to these values.

##### `dm.directlvm_device`
As an alternative to providing a thin pool as above, Docker can setup a block
device for you.
###### Example:
```bash
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.directlvm_device=/dev/xvdf
```
##### `dm.thinp_percent`
Sets the percentage of passed in block device to use for storage.
###### Example:
```bash
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.thinp_percent=95
```
##### `dm.thinp_metapercent`
Sets the percentage of the passed in block device to use for metadata storage.
###### Example:
```bash
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.thinp_metapercent=1
```
##### `dm.thinp_autoextend_threshold`
Sets the value of the percentage of space used before `lvm` attempts to
