668a028670 - Add md_provsize field to metadata, which will help with
shared-last-sector problem.
  After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
  last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
  It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
  with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
  (then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
  option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
  Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
  they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
  isn't important at all.
- Provide backward compatibility.
- Update copyright's year.

a98f255700 - Introduce option for hardcoding providers' names into metadata.
It allows to fix problems when last provider's sector is shared between few
  providers.
- Bump version number for CONCAT and STRIPE and add code for backward
  compatibility.
- Do not bump version number of MIRROR, as it wasn't officially introduced yet.
  Even if someone started to play with it, there is no big deal, because
  wrong MD5 sum of metadata will deny those providers.
- Update manual pages.
- Add version history to g_(stripe|concat).h files.
