/*
* get_type
* @type_name
*
* Attempt to retrieve the dm_exception_store_type by name. If not already
* available, attempt to load the appropriate module.
*
* Exstore modules are named "dm-exstore-" followed by the 'type_name'.
* Modules may contain multiple types.
* This function will first try the module "dm-exstore-<type_name>",
* then truncate 'type_name' on the last '-' and try again.
*
* For example, if type_name was "clustered-shared", it would search
* 'dm-exstore-clustered-shared' then 'dm-exstore-clustered'.
*
* 'dm-exception-store-<type_name>' is too long of a name in my
* opinion, which is why I've chosen to have the files
* containing exception store implementations be 'dm-exstore-<type_name>'.
* If you want your module to be autoloaded, you will follow this
* naming convention.
*
* Returns: dm_exception_store_type* on success, NULL on failure
