The patch has gotten internal review only.
I hope to get further review from people in dm-devel including
the naming of the option.

OK.
I extended the scope of the "no_path_retry" option to the multipath
command so that we can phase out the "features" option, because
the multipath command also sees the "features" option.

And fixed some bugs of the patch.
  o Initialization issue of retry_tick.
  o Missing status update of retry_tick in waiteventloop and reconfigure.

The new patch is below.
This patch doesn't change current behavior of multipath command by default.
The "no_path_option" option overrides the "features" option.
