BD Backend: CLI commands to create/delete image

Cli commands  added to create/delete a LV device.

The following command creates lv in a given vg.
$ gluster bd create <volname>:<vgname>/<lvname> <size>

The following command deletes lv in a given vg.
$ gluster bd delete <volname>:<vgname>/<lvname>
