MFC r312603: Add initial support for CTL module unloading.

It is only a first step and not perfect, but better then nothing.
The main blocker is CAM target frontend, that can not be unloaded,
since CAM does not have mechanism to unregister periph driver now.

MFC r312291, r312669:
Make CTL frontends report kern_data_resid for under-/overruns.

It seems like kern_data_resid was never really implemented. This change
finally does it. Now frontends update this field while transferring data,
while CTL/backends getting it can more flexibly handle the result.
At this point behavior should not change significantly, still reporting
errors on write overrun, but that may be changed later, if we decide so.

CAM target frontend still does not properly handle overruns due to CAM API
limitations. We may need to add some fields to struct ccb_accept_tio to
pass information about initiator requested transfer size(s).


# 312849 26-Jan-2017 mav

MFC r312232: Add under-/overrun support to IOCTL and CAM SIM frontends.


# 311402 05-Jan-2017 mav

MFC r298810 (by pfg): sys/cam: spelling fixes in comments.

No functional change.


# 288807 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r288261: Move ioctl frontend defines where they belong.


# 288800 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r288221: Remove some dead code found by Clang analyzer.


# 288781 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r288020: Remove couple excess SGLIST I/O flags.

Those flags duplicated respective (sg_entries > 0) values.


# 288762 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r287860: Frontends don't need to set errors themselves.


# 288732 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r287621: Reimplement CTL High Availability.

CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.

This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.

Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.

The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

MFC r287372:
Make most of port methods optional and remove bunch of dummies.


# 288720 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r286807: Move "ioctl" CAM frontend into separate file.

It has nothing to share with too huge ctl.c other then device descriptor,
but even that may be counted as design error that may be fixed later.
At some point we may even want to have several ioctl ports.
