The values of the d_slice and d_partition fields of a disk_devdesc have a
few values with special meanings in the disk_open() routine. Through various
evolutions of the loader code over time, a d_partition value of -1 has
meant both "use the first ufs partition found in the bsd label" and "don't
open a bsd partition at all, open the raw slice."
This defines a new special value of -2 to mean open the raw slice, and it
gives symbolic names to all the special values used in d_slice and
d_partition, and adjusts all existing uses of those fields to use the new
constants.
The phab review for this timed out without being accepted, but I'm still
citing it below because there is useful commentary there.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D19262
r330809 replaced duplication of devdesc struct fields with an embedded copy
of the devdesc struct, to avoid fragility. That means all the scattered
comments indicating that structs must match are no longer valid. Likewise
asserts that attempted to mitigate some of the old fragility.

The current system is fragile and requires very careful layout of all
*_devdesc structures. It also makes it hard to change the base
devdesc. Take a page from CAM and put the 'header' in all the derived
classes and adjust the code to match.
For OFW, move the iHandle h_handle out of a slot conflicting with
d_opendata. Due to quirks in the alignment rules, this worked.
However changing the code to use d_opendata storage now that it's a
pointer is hard, so just have a separate field for it.
All other cleanups were to make the *_devdesc structures match where
they'd taken some liberties that were none-the-less compatible enough
to work.
Make sure { on the same line as struct for all struct *devdesc. Move
some type definitions to next to the dv_type define, since that's what
sets the d_type.
