While very useful by itself, it also makes `nvmecontrol` not depend on
hardcoded device names parsing, that in its turn makes simple to take
nvdX (and potentially any other) device names as arguments.
Also added IOCTL bypass from nvdX to respective nvmeYnsZ makes them
interchangeable for management purposes.

Create a set of routines and structures to hold the data for the args
for a command. Use them to generate help and to parse args. Convert
all the current commands over to the new format. "comnd" is a hat-tip
to the TOPS-20 %COMND JSYS that (very) loosely inspired much of the
subsequent command line notions in the industry, but this is far
simpler (the %COMND man page is longer than this code) and not in the
kernel... Also, it implements today's de-facto
command [verb]+ [opts]* [args]*
format rather than the old, archaic TOPS-20 command format :)
This is a snapshot of a work in progress to get the nvme passthru
stuff committed. In time it will become a private library and used
by some other programs in the tree that conform to the above pattern.

Make the pointers we pass into the commands const, also make the
linker set mirrors const.

Eliminage redundant spaces and nvmecontrol at start of all the usage
strings. Update the usage printing code to add them back when
presenting to the user. Allow multi-line usage messages and print
proper leading spaces for lines starting with a space.

Provide a usage() function that takes a struct nvme_function pointer
and produces a usage mssage. Eliminate all now-redundant usage
functions. Propigate the new argument through the program as needed.
Use common routine to print usage.

More commands will be added to nvmecontrol. Also, there will be a few
more vendor commands (some of which may need to remain private to
companies writing them). The first step on that journey is to move to
using linker sets to dispatch commands. The next step will be using
dlopen to bring in the .so's that have the command that might need
to remain private for seamless integration.
Similar changes to this will be needed for vendor specific log pages.

The original NVMe API used bit-fields to represent fields in data
structures defined by the specification (e.g. the op-code in the command
data structure). The implementation targeted x86_64 processors and
defined the bit fields for little endian dwords (i.e. 32 bits).
This approach does not work as-is for big endian architectures and was
changed to use a combination of bit shifts and masks to support PowerPC.
Unfortunately, this changed the NVMe API and forces #ifdef's based on
the OS revision level in user space code.
This change reverts to something that looks like the original API, but
it uses bytes instead of bit-fields inside the packed command structure.
As a bonus, this works as-is for both big and little endian CPU
architectures.

It allows to change namespace parameters, such as block size, metadata,
protection information, etc. and/or erase the data.
