Conrad Meyer 5b9b571cb3 geom_label: Use provider aliasing to alias upstream geoms
For synthetic aliases (just pseudonyms inferred from metadata like GPT or
UFS labels, GPT UUIDs, etc), use the GEOM provider aliasing system to create
a symlink to the real device instead of creating an independent device.
This makes it more clear which labels and devices correspond, and we can
safely have multiple labels to a single device accessed at once.

The confusingly named geom_label on-disk construct continues to behave
identically to how it did before.

This requires teaching GEOM's provider aliasing about the possibility
that aliases might be added later in time, and GEOM's devfs interaction
layer not to worry about existing aliases during retaste.

Discussed with:	imp
Relnotes:	sure, if we don't end up reverting it

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
