(we ignore it).
- Remove code used for handling spoil events, as spoiling is not possible
anymore, because we keep consumers open for writing all the time.

After this change, when component is disconnected because of an I/O error,
it will not be connected and synchronized automatically, it will be logged
as broken and skipped. Autosynchronization can occur, when component is
disconnected (on orphan event) and connected again - there were no I/O
error, so there is no need to not connected the component, but when there were
writes while it wasn't connected, it will be synchronized.
This fix cases, when component is disconnected because of I/O error and can be
connected again and again.
- Bump version number.
- Implement backward compatibility mechanism. After this change when metadata in
old version is detected, it is automatically upgraded to the new (current)
version.
but it is possible:
1. Read data from good component for synchronization.
2. Write data to the same area.
3. Write synchronization data, which are now stale.

verification of regular data when device is in complete state.
On verification error, EIO error is returned for the bio and sysctl
kern.geom.raid3.stat.parity_mismatch is increased.

as well, even if device is in complete state.
I observe 40% of speed-up with this option for random read operations,
but slowdown for sequential reads.
Basically, without this option reading from a RAID3 device built from 5
components (c0-c4) looks like this:
Request no. Used components
1 c0+c1+c2+c3
2 c0+c1+c2+c3
3 c0+c1+c2+c3
With the new feature:
Request no. Used components
1 c0+c1+c2+c3
2 (c1^c2^c3^c4)+c1+c2+c3
3 c0+(c0^c2^c3^c4)+c2+c3
4 c0+c1+(c0^c1^c3^c4)+c3
5 c0+c1+c2+(c0^c1^c2^c4)
6 c0+c1+c2+c3
