dm_btree_find_lowest_key is the reciprocal of dm_btree_find_highest_key.
Factor out common code for dm_btree_find_{highest,lowest}_key.
dm_btree_find_lowest_key is needed for an upcoming DM target, as such it
is best to get this interface in place.

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage

It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.
