Add dm.blocksize option that you can use with --storage-opt to set a
specific blocksize for the thin provisioning pool.
Also change the default dm-thin-pool blocksize from 64K to 512K. This
strikes a balance between the desire to have smaller blocksize given
docker's use of snapshots versus the desire to have more performance
that comes with using a larger blocksize. But if very small files will
be used on average the user is encouraged to override this default.

The blkdiscard hack we do on container/image delete is pretty slow, but
required to restore space to the "host" root filesystem. However, it
is pretty useless on raw devices, and you may not need it in development
either.
In a simple test of the devicemapper backend on loopback the time to
delete 20 container went from 11 seconds to 0.4 seconds with
--storage-opt blkdiscard=false.

This adds dm.datadev and dm.metadatadev options that you can use with
--storage-opt to set to specific devices to use for the thin
provisioning pool.

This adds the following --storage-opts for the daemon:
dm.fs: The filesystem to use for the base image
dm.mkfsarg: Add an argument to the mkfs command for the base image
dm.mountopt: Add a mount option for devicemapper mount
Currently supported filesystems are xfs and ext4.

This allows setting these settings to be passed:
dm.basesize
dm.loopdatasize
dm.loopmetadatasize
