dm snapshot: add merge target



The snapshot-merge target allows a snapshot to be merged back into the
snapshot's origin device.

One anticipated use of snapshot merging is the rollback of filesystems
to back out problematic system upgrades.

This patch adds snapshot-merge target management to both
dm_snapshot_init() and dm_snapshot_exit().  As an initial place-holder,
snapshot-merge is identical to the snapshot target.  Documentation is
provided.
