lvol: fix thin-pool creation with percentage size (#11925)

* fix(lvol): use --extents (-l) for thin-pool creation with percentage size

Fixes #11923

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(lvol): add changelog fragment for #11925

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(lvol): add integration tests for thin-pool creation with percentage sizes

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(lvol): use extent-aligned size for thin-pool absolute-size idempotency test

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(lvol): reduce thin-pool sizes to leave space for test_pvs.yml

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(lvol): add shrink=false to thin-pool absolute-size idempotency check

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(lvol): add shrink: false to thin volume idempotency test

LVM reports thin volume size slightly above requested (metadata overhead),
triggering spurious shrink attempts. Disable shrink for idempotency checks
to avoid false failures.
