b6fe583c55 Add gmirror create subcommand, alike to gstripe, gconcat, etc.
It is quite specific mode of operation without storing on-disk metadata.
It can be useful in some cases in combination with some external control
tools handling mirror creation and disks hot-plug.

ae3bc0acff Add an ability to stop gmirror and clear its metadata in one command.
This fixes the problem, when gmirror starts again just after stop.

The problem occurs when gmirror's component has geom label with equal size.
E.g. gpt and gptid have the same size as partition, diskid has the same
size as entire disk. When gmirror's geom has been destroyed, glabel
creates its providers and this initiate retaste.

Now "gmirror destroy" command is available. It destroys geom and also
erases gmirror's metadata.

32cea4ca0f Add "resize" verb to gmirror(8) and such functionality to geom_mirror(4).
Now it is easy to expand the size of the mirror when all its components
are replaced. Also add g_resize method to geom_mirror class. It will write
updated metadata to new last sector, when parent provider is resized.

501250ba60 Now, that we have gjournal in the tree add possibility to configure
gmirror and graid3 in a way that it is not resynchronized after a
power failure or system crash.
It is safe when gjournal is running on top of gmirror/graid3.
