This compiler flag enforces that that people either mark variables
static or use an external declarations for the variable, similar to how
-Wmissing-prototypes works for functions.
Due to the fact that Yacc/Lex generate code that cannot trivially be
changed to not warn because of this (lots of yy* variables), add a
NO_WMISSING_VARIABLE_DECLARATIONS that can be used to turn off this
specific compiler warning.

more terse output more observable for both scripts and humans.
Also, it shifts hastctl closer to GEOM utilities with their list/status command
pairs.

requests as well as number of activemap updates.
Number of BIO_WRITEs and activemap updates are especially interesting, because
if those two are too close to each other, it means that your workload needs
bigger number of dirty extents. Activemap should be updated as rarely as
possible.

because we need to do ioctl(2)s, which are not permitted in the capability
mode. What we do now is to chroot(2) to /var/empty, which restricts access
to file system name space and we drop privileges to hast user and hast
group.
This still allows to access to other name spaces, like list of processes,
network and sysvipc.
To address that, use jail(2) instead of chroot(2). Using jail(2) will restrict
access to process table, network (we use ip-less jails) and sysvipc (if
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed is turned off). This provides much better
separation.

hast_proto_recv_hdr() may be used. This also fixes the issue
(introduced by r220523) with hastctl, which crashed on assert in
hast_proto_recv_data().

We can use capsicum for secondary worker processes and hastctl.
When working as primary we drop privileges using chroot+setgid+setuid
still as we need to send ioctl(2)s to ggate device, for which capsicum
doesn't allow (yet).
X-MFC after: capsicum is merged to stable/8
- Load support for %T for pritning time.
- Add support for %N for printing number in human readable form.
- Add support for %S for printing sockaddr structure (currently only AF_INET
family is supported, as this is all we need in HAST).
- Disable gcc compile-time format checking as this will no longer work.

- HOLE - it simply turns all-zero blocks into few bytes header;
it is extremely fast, so it is turned on by default;
it is mostly intended to speed up initial synchronization
where we expect many zeros;
- LZF - very fast algorithm by Marc Alexander Lehmann, which shows
very decent compression ratio and has BSD license.
