This change doesn't make any attempt to add support for these slices to the
relevent GEOM classes. Just register the number in fdisk and the canonical
list of kernel macros (diskmbr.h).

I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared as I could not find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo history.
fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this, I have avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.

go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work. Advice
them to use gpart(8) instead.
Something similar should probably done with disklabel,
but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

only being able to create 1TB partitions:
o) Use an unsigned 32-bit quantity to store the number of disk sectors.
o) Detect overflow of said 32-bit quantity and clamp to 2^32.
o) Rather than returning the disk sector count from get_params, return 0 on
success, since its return value is only ever compared to -1 to detect
failure. This would cause returning 2^32 sectors to be interpreted as an
error.

Remove obsolete code which uses DIOCSMBR ioctl.
When writing MBR first check that GEOM_MBR is available, if it is not
available, then try write MBR directly to provider. If both are failed,
then recommend to use gpart(8).

limitation is not needed it erroneously skips conversion to
number and always returns zero. So, don't skip conversion
for case when limitation is not needed.

fdisk(1) internally uses a signed int. Should a user attempt to specify
a slice containing more than 2^31 - 1 sectors, an error will be reported
on systems with sizeof(long) == 4 and the slice size will be silently
truncated on systems with sizeof(long) > 4.
Instead use an unsigned long to store the slice size in fdisk(1). This
allows the user to specify a slice size up to the maximum permitted by
the MBR on-disk format and does not have any problems with silent
truncation should the use specify an slice size larger than 2^32 on systems
with sizeof(long) > 4.

by the MBR for the given parameter and set that parameter to the
maximum value instead of just truncating the most significant part
silently.
Could happen for example if the capacity of the device is more
than 2TB, so that the number of sectors is greater than 2Mib.

replace the table of partition with a simpler and faster array of strings.
The change in the array is done mechanically, using vi commands.
Most entries in the table are probably 15+ years old and largely outdated,
so the next step is to remove stale entries with more current values.

+ Remove a dead field of a struct. It serves no purpose anymore.
+ Remove a \n at the end of the format string of err(); the err()
function already adds a \n ;
+ remove many unnecessary casts which obfuscate the code.
This file has a huge number of indentation bugs, but I'd rather fix
them when/if we happen to modify the relevant parts of the code.
