A user on IRC had problems trying to use the following setup-storage
configuration:

### Begin configuration ###
disk_config vda bootable:1
  primary       /boot   256     ext2    rw
  primary       -       512     swap    -
  primary       -       2048-   -       -

disk_config vdb bootable:1
  primary       -       256     ext2    rw
  primary       -       512     swap    -
  primary       -       2048-   -       -

disk_config raid
  raid1         /       vda3,vdb3       -       -

disk_config lvm
  vg    vgroup0         md0
  vgroup0-root  /       1024-   ext4    defaults
### End configuration ###

I propose the following sanity checks for setup-storage:
* Each mountpoint (except -) should appear at most once
* Ensure that LVM PVs have mountpoint -

In such cases setup-storage should exit with a useful error message.

(Another problem was that this user had his nfsroot exported with
root_squash, so pvcreate failed due to not being able to read
/var/lock/lvm. It would be nice if this error could be detected as well
and specifically suggested setting no_root_squash if /var/lock/lvm has a
non-root owner.)
