Use recent best practices for Copyright form at the top of
the license:
1. Remove all the All Rights Reserved clauses on our stuff. Where we
piggybacked others, use a separate line to make things clear.
2. Use "Netflix, Inc." everywhere.
3. Use a single line for the copyright for grep friendliness.
4. Use date ranges in all places for our stuff.

Make the pointers we pass into the commands const, also make the
linker set mirrors const.

o Dynamically load all the .so files found in /libexec/nvmecontrol and
/usr/local/libexec/nvmecontrol.
o Link nvmecontrol -rdynamic so that its symbols are visible to the
libraries we load.
o Create concatinated linker sets that we dynamically expand.
o Add the linked-in top and logpage linker sets to the mirrors for them
and add those sets to the mirrors when we load a new .so.
o Add some macros to help hide the names of the linker sets.
o Update the man page.

Eliminage redundant spaces and nvmecontrol at start of all the usage
strings. Update the usage printing code to add them back when
presenting to the user. Allow multi-line usage messages and print
proper leading spaces for lines starting with a space.

Provide a usage() function that takes a struct nvme_function pointer
and produces a usage mssage. Eliminate all now-redundant usage
functions. Propigate the new argument through the program as needed.
Use common routine to print usage.

More commands will be added to nvmecontrol. Also, there will be a few
more vendor commands (some of which may need to remain private to
companies writing them). The first step on that journey is to move to
using linker sets to dispatch commands. The next step will be using
dlopen to bring in the .so's that have the command that might need
to remain private for seamless integration.
Similar changes to this will be needed for vendor specific log pages.

The original NVMe API used bit-fields to represent fields in data
structures defined by the specification (e.g. the op-code in the command
data structure). The implementation targeted x86_64 processors and
defined the bit fields for little endian dwords (i.e. 32 bits).
This approach does not work as-is for big endian architectures and was
changed to use a combination of bit shifts and masks to support PowerPC.
Unfortunately, this changed the NVMe API and forces #ifdef's based on
the OS revision level in user space code.
This change reverts to something that looks like the original API, but
it uses bytes instead of bit-fields inside the packed command structure.
As a bonus, this works as-is for both big and little endian CPU
architectures.

This allows create/delete/attach/detach namespaces on new NVMe controllers.
This is only a first user-level part of the bigger change set. Kernel part
required to detect and handle the configuration changes without reboot is
completely independent and will be added separately.
