Merge the projects/release-pkg branch to head.

This allows packaging the base system with pkg(8), including
but not limited to providing the ability to provide upstream
binary update possibilities for non-tier-1 architectures.

This merge is a requirement of the 11.0-RELEASE, and as such,
thank you to everyone that has tested the project branch.

Documentation in build(7) etc. is still somewhat sparse, but
updates to those parts will follow.

Make geom_nop(4) collect statistics on all types of BIOs, not just

Add a way to specify stripesize and stripeoffset to gnop(8). This makes
it possible to "simulate" 4K media, to eg test alignment handling.

Add META_MODE support.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

- Remove gc_argname field. It was introduced for gpart(8), but if I
understand everything correctly, we don't really need it.
- Provide default numeric value as strings. This allows to simplify
a lot of code.
- Bump version number.

Fix the example, -w is the right switch for write failure probability.

Add gpart(8).

In order to support gpart(8), geom(8) needs to support a named
argument. Also, optional string parameters are a requirement.
Both have been added to the infrastructure. The former required
all existing classes to be adjusted.

MFp4: G_TYPE_BOOL sounds much better than G_TYPE_NONE.

Markup fixes.

- Split failure probability configuration into read failure probability and
write failure probability.
- Allow to specify an error number to return of failure.

Remove trailing spaces.

Teach NOP GEOM class how to gather the following statistics:
- number of read I/O requests,
- number of write I/O requests,
- number of read bytes,
- number of written bytes.
Add 'reset' subcommand for resetting statistics.

Define subcommands' usage inside g_command structure.

- Add '-S' option, which allow to specify sector size for transparent
provider.
- Bump version number.

This allows for a quite interesting trick. One can setup a stripe with
stripe size of 512 bytes and create transparent provider on top of it
with sector size equal to <ndisks> * 512. The result will be something
like RAID3 without parity disk (every access will touch all disks).

Fix typo.

MFp4: Add two options for gnop(8)'s 'create' command:
-o offset - specifies where to start on the original provider
-s size - specifies size of the transparent provider

Document sysctl variables.

Slight markup and grammar fixes.

Fix copy&paste bug.

Fix typo.

- Add a cross-reference to geom(8).
- Add missing 'a'.

Actually we are also able to list only choosen providers.
