MFC r310257: Improve support for informational exceptions.

While CTL still has no real events to report in this way (like SMART),
it is possible to trigger false event by manually setting TEST bit in
Informational Exceptions Control mode page, that can be useful for
initiator testing. This code supports all flavours of IE reporting:
UNIT ATTENTION, RECOVERED ERROR and NO SENSE sense keys, REQUEST SENSE
command and Informational Exceptions log page.

Improve camcontrol(8) handling of drive defect data.

This includes a new summary mode (-s) for camcontrol defects that
quickly tells the user the most important thing: how many defects
are in the requested list. The actual location of the defects is
less important.

Modern drives frequently have more than the 8191 defects that can
be reported by the READ DEFECT DATA (10) command. If they don't
have that many grown defects, they certainly have more than 8191
defects in the primary (i.e. factory) defect list.

The READ DEFECT DATA (12) command allows for longer parameter
lists, as well as indexing into the list of defects, and so allows
reporting many more defects.

This has been tested with HGST drives and Seagate drives, but
does not fully work with Seagate drives. Once I have a Seagate
spec I may be able to determine whether it is possible to make it
work with Seagate drives.

scsi_da.h: Add a definition for the new long block defect
format.

Add bit and mask definitions for the new extended
physical sector and bytes from index defect
formats.

Add a prototype for the new scsi_read_defects() CDB
building function.

scsi_da.c: Add a new scsi_read_defects() CDB building function.
camcontrol(8) was previously composing CDBs manually.
This is long overdue.

camcontrol.c: Revamp the camcontrol defects subcommand. We now
go through multiple stages in trying to get defect
data off the drive while avoiding various drive
firmware quirks.

We start off by requesting the defect header with
the 10 byte command. If we're in summary mode (-s)
and the drive reports fewer defects than can be
represented in the 10 byte header, we're done.
Otherwise, we know that we need to issue the
12 byte command if the drive reports the maximum
number of defects.

If we're in summary mode, we're done if we get a
good response back when asking for the 12 byte header.

If the user has asked for the full list, then we
use the address descriptor index field in the 12
byte CDB to step through the list in 64K chunks.
64K is small enough to work with most any ancient
or modern SCSI controller.

Add support for printing the new long block defect
format, as well as the extended physical sector and
bytes from index formats. I don't have any drives
that support the new formats.

Add a hexadecimal output format that can be turned
on with -X.

Add a quiet mode (-q) that can be turned on with
the summary mode (-s) to just print out a number.

Revamp the error detection and recovery code for
the defects command to work with HGST drives.

Call the new scsi_read_defects() CDB building
function instead of rolling the CDB ourselves.

Pay attention to the residual from the defect list
request when printing it out, so we don't run off
the end of the list.

Use the new scsi_nv library routines to convert
from strings to numbers and back.

camcontrol.8: Document the new defect formats (longblock, extbfi,
extphys) and command line options (-q, -s, -S and
-X) for the defects subcommand.

Explain a little more about what drives generally
do and don't support.

MFC r273072: Add LBPERE mode bit definition.

MFC r273038: Add support for READ DEFECT DATA (10/12) commands.

SPC-4 r2 allows to return empty defect list if the list is not supported.
We don't reallu support defect data lists, but this suppresses some errors.

MFC r267537:
Add support for VERIFY(10/12/16) and COMPARE AND WRITE SCSI commands.

Make data_submit backends method support not only read and write requests,
but also two new ones: verify and compare. Verify just checks readability
of the data in specified location without transferring them outside.
Compare reads the specified data and compares them to received data,
returning error if they are different.

VERIFY(10/12/16) commands request either verify or compare from backend,
depending on BYTCHK CDB field. COMPARE AND WRITE command executed in two
stages: first it requests compare, and then, if succeesed, requests write.
Atomicity of operation is guarantied by CTL request ordering code.
