space taken by a partition. The offset and size are used to
describe the effective (usable) storage of that partition.

formatting a number in a human-friendly way.
Note that with this commit a megabyte changed from 1000000 to
1048576 and a 80G disk is now printed as being 75G in size.
This is deliberate. It's consistent with the core of geom(8).

Option '-B none' can by used to prevent backup. Option '-B path' can be
used to backup metadata to a different file than the default, which is

The 'geli init' command also prints backup file location and gives short
procedure how to restore metadata.
The 'geli setkey' command now warns that even after passphrase change or keys
update there could be version of the master key encrypted with old
keys/passphrase in the backup file.
Add regression tests to verify that new functionality works as expected.
Update other regression tests so they don't create backup files.
