For most users it's not needed to boot and they are also
available in the FreeBSD-rescue package in case an update
break and FreeBSD-geom package isn't updated correctly.

Implement the "gconcat append" command which can be used
to append a disk to the end of an existing gconcat device
without unmounting.
If the gconcat device is using the "automatic" method, i.e.,
stores metadata on the devices, new metadata is written
to all existing components, as well as to the newly added one.

Rather then combining hardlink creation for the geom(8) binary with
shared library build, move libraries to src/lib/geom so they are
built and installed normally. Create a common Makefile.classes
which is included by both lib/geom/Makefile and sbin/geom/Makefile
so the symlink and libraries stay in sync.
The relocation of libraries allows libraries to be build for 32-bit
compat. This also reduces the number of non-standard builds in
the system.
This commit is not sufficent to run a 32-bit /sbin/geom on a 64-bit
system out of the box as it will look in the wrong place for libraries
unless GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH is set appropriatly in the environment.
