Also, be more careful about releasing the process lock around calls
to uiomove() which may sleep waiting for paging machinations or
related notions. We may want to defer the uiomove() in at least
one case, but jhb will look into that at a later date.

argument to the functions shm{at,ctl}1 and shm_find_segment_by_shmid{x}.
The BSD semantics didn't allow the usage of shared segment after
being marked for removal through IPC_RMID.
The patch involves the following functions:
- shmat
- shmctl
- shm_find_segment_by_shmid
- shm_find_segment_by_shmidx
- linux_shmat
- linux_shmctl

Maintain sector sizes for all objects, not just for drives. Some of
this could do with improvement: in particular, we get an error if the
components of an object have different sector sizes.
Clean up some comments.

Finally implement read policies. The previous "implementation" didn't
work because it referred to plexes which were almost invariably when
referred to. Instead, deprecate the "prefer" keyword for volumes
(though it's still there for the moment) and add a keyword "preferred"
to the plex definition. The relationship is like this:
Old:
vol foo ... prefer foo.p3
New:
plex foo.p3 volume foo preferred
print_config: Print "preferred" where appropriate.
No longer print "prefer" on volume config entries.

give_plex_to_volume: set preferred plex if specified on plex

config_plex: Implement preferred keyword.
Remove DBL_DIG, DBL_MIN, DBL_MAX and their FLT_ counterparts, they
were marked for deprecation ever since SUSv1 at least.
Only define ULLONG_MIN/MAX and LLONG_MAX if long long type is
supported.
Restore a lost comment in MI _limits.h file and remove it from
sys/limits.h where it does not belong.
Add ioctl VINUM_READCONFIG which implements both the "read" and
"start" commands in vinum(8). Aim for marginally better error
messages when something goes wrong.
