dm exception store: add merge specific methods
Add functions that decide how many consecutive chunks of snapshot to
merge back into the origin next and to update the metadata afterwards.
prepare_merge provides a pointer to the most recent still-to-be-merged
chunk and returns how many previous ones are consecutive and can be
processed together.
commit_merge removes the nr_merged most-recent chunks permanently from
the exception store. The number must not exceed that returned by
prepare_merge.
Introduce NUM_SNAPSHOT_HDR_CHUNKS to show where the snapshot header
chunk is accounted for.
