Allow users to specify multiple dump configurations in a prioritized list. This enables fallback to secondary device(s) if primary dump fails. E.g., one might configure a preference for netdump, but fallback to disk dump as a second choice if netdump is unavailable. This change does not list-ify netdump configuration, which is tracked separately from ordinary disk dumps internally; only one netdump configuration can be made at a time, for now. It also does not implement IPv6 netdump. savecore(8) is already capable of scanning and iterating multiple devices from /etc/fstab or passed on the command line. This change doesn't update the rc or loader variables 'dumpdev' in any way; it can still be set to configure a single dump device, and rc.d/savecore still uses it as a single device. Only dumpon(8) is updated to be able to configure the more complicated configurations for now. As part of revving the ABI, unify netdump and disk dump configuration ioctl / structure, and leave room for ipv6 netdump as a future possibility. Backwards-compatibility ioctls are added to smooth ABI transition, especially for developers who may not keep kernel and userspace perfectly synced.

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.
