While CTL has concept of port options, used at least for iSCSI ports now,
before this change it was impossible to set them manually. There still
no user-configurable port options now, but I am planning to change that.
Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places..
This allows ctld to work with isp(4) virtual ports, specifying them as
isp0/1, isp0/2, etc. There are still problems on isp(4) layer with
disabling those ports after enabling, but hopefully they can be fixed.

This change introduces new target option "port", that assigns current target
to specified CTL port. On config application ctld(8) will apply LUN mapping
according to target configuration to specified port and bring the port up.
On shutdown cltd(8) will remove the mapping and put the port down.
This change allows to configure both iSCSI and FibreChannel targets in the
same configuration file in alike way.
Kernel side support was added earlier at r278037.

target iSCSI offload. Add mechanism to query maximum receive data segment
size supported by chosen hardware offload module, and use it in ctld(8)
to determine the value to advertise to the other side.

This change allows multiple "portal-group" options to be specified per
target. Each of them may include new optional auth-group name parameter
to override per-target auth parameters for specific portal group.

While ctld(8) still does not allow multiple portal groups per target
to be configured, kernel should now be able to handle it.

Replace iSCSI-specific LUN mapping mechanism with new one, working for any
ports. By default all ports are created without LUN mapping, exposing all
CTL LUNs as before. But, if needed, LUN mapping can be manually set on
per-port basis via ctladm. For its iSCSI ports ctld does it via ioctl(2).
The next step will be to teach ctld to work with FibreChannel ports also.
Respecting additional flexibility of the new mechanism, ctl.conf now allows
alternative syntax for LUN definition. LUNs can now be defined in global
context, and then referenced from targets by unique name, as needed. It
allows same LUN to be exposed several times via multiple targets.
While there, increase limit for LUNs per target in ctld from 256 to 1024.
Some initiators do not support LUNs above 255, but that is not our problem.

Such LUNs will be visible to initiators, but return "not ready" status
on media access commands. If backing storage become available later,
`ctladm modify ...` or `service ctld reload` can trigger its reopen.
teardown, and new port creation during `service ctld restart`.
Close it by returning iSCSI port internal state, that allows to identify
dying ports, which should not be counted as existing, from really alive.
Instead make ports provide wanted port and target IDs, and LUNs provide
wanted LUN IDs. After that core Device ID VPD code only had to link all
of them together and add relative port and port group numbers.
LUN ID for iSCSI LUNs no longer created by CTL, but by ctld, and passed
to CTL as "scsiname" LUN option. This makes LUNs to report the same set
of IDs, independently from the port through which it is accessed, as
required by SCSI specifications.
Having single port for all iSCSI connections makes problematic implementing
some more advanced SCSI functionality in CTL, that require proper ports
enumeration and identification.
This change extends CTL iSCSI API, making ctld daemon to control list of
iSCSI ports in CTL. When new target is defined in config fine, ctld will
create respective port in CTL. When target is removed -- port will be
also removed after all active commands through that port properly aborted.
This change require ctld to be rebuilt to match the kernel.
As a minor side effect, this allows to have iSCSI targets without LUNs.
While that may look odd and not very useful, that is not incorrect.
Before this it was impossible to use all 16 bytes of serial number, and
client always got serial number NULL-terminated, that is not required.

fix for LIO (Linux target), removing possibility for the target to avoid mutual
CHAP by choosing to skip authentication altogether, and fixing truncated error
messages in iscsictl(8) output. This also fixes several of the problems found
with Coverity.
Note that this change requires world rebuild.
