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.

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.

Increase default block size from 4K to 64K. It was reduces 6 yeard ago,
when trees were big and FAST mode was enabled by default.

So small block size doesn't benefits linear I/O operations in FAST and
significantly slowdowns in ECONOMIC (default) mode. For single stream random
I/Os so small block doesn't give much benefits, as access time is usually
bigger then transfer time there. Same time it requires all heads to seek
together for every single request, reducing performance on parallel load.

Fix the online usage for the "dump" command.

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.

Changes: 98722

Remove trailing spaces.

- The geom(8) utility only uses three types of arguments: string (char *),
value (intmax_t) and boolean (int).
Based on that provide three functions:
- gctl_get_ascii()
- gctl_get_int()
- gctl_get_intmax()
- Hide gctl_get_param() function, as it is only used internally in
subr.c.
- Allow to provide argument name as (fmt, ...).
- Assert geom(8) bugs (missing argument is a geom(8) bug).

- Clean-up and simplify the code by using new functions and assumtions
(no more checking for missing argument).

- Add md_provsize field to metadata, which will help with
shared-last-sector problem.
After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
(then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
isn't important at all.
- Provide backward compatibility.
- Update copyright's year.

Don't allow to specify wrong stripe size.

Warn the user if we are not going to use the whole provider's space.

- Introduce option for hardcoding providers' names into metadata.
It allows to fix problems when last provider's sector is shared between few
providers.
- Bump version number for CONCAT and STRIPE and add code for backward
compatibility.
- Do not bump version number of MIRROR, as it wasn't officially introduced yet.
Even if someone started to play with it, there is no big deal, because
wrong MD5 sum of metadata will deny those providers.
- Update manual pages.
- Add version history to g_(stripe|concat).h files.

Add and document kern.geom.stripe.fast_failed sysctl, which shows how
many times "fast" mode failed.

Improve geom(8)'s 'list' command to show geoms and their providers and
consumers. Teach STRIPE, CONCAT and NOP classes about this improvement.

Change naming scheme from /dev/<name>.stripe to /dev/stripe/<name>.

MFp4: Add 'dump' command to gconcat(8), glabel(8) and gstripe(8) which allow
