This will avoid a 0-byte read (in g_read_data()) leading to a panic, if
previously read data are erroneous.
Suggested by: John-Mark Gurney <jmg@funkthat.com>
Without this, read data is mis-interpreted. This could trigger a panic,
as was the case on one computer where computed "recsize" was zero,
leading to a call to g_read_page() asking for 0 bytes.
'"'. Mangling is only done for label names read from file system
metadata. Encoding resembles URL encoding. For example, the space
character becomes %20.

extended using growfs(8). The problem here is that geom_label checks if
the filesystem size recorded in UFS superblock is equal to the provider
(i.e. device) size. This check cannot be removed due to backward
compatibility. On the other hand, in most cases growfs(8) cannot set
fs_size in the superblock to match the provider size, because, differently
from newfs(8), it cannot recompute cylinder group sizes.
To fix this problem, add another superblock field, fs_providersize, used
only for this purpose. The geom_label(4) will attach if either fs_size
(filesystem created with newfs(8)) or fs_providersize (filesystem expanded
using growfs(8)) matches the device size.

GIANT from VFS. This code is particulary broken and fragile and other
in-kernel implementations around, found in other operating systems,
don't really seem clean and solid enough to be imported at all.
If someone wants to reconsider in-kernel NTFS implementation for
inclusion again, a fair effort for completely fixing and cleaning it
up is expected.
In the while NTFS regular users can use FUSE interface and ntfs-3g
port to work with their NTFS partitions.
This is not targeted for MFC.
Without it, it fails to create labels for filesystems resized by
growfs(8).

X-MFC after: to be determined in last commit with code from this project
for specific "kinds" of disk labels - for example, GPT UUIDs. Reason
for this is that sometimes, other GEOM classes attach to these device
nodes instead of the proper ones - e.g. they attach to /dev/gptid/XXX
instead of /dev/ada0p2, which is annoying.

depend on on-disk metadata. This was we won't attach to providers that are used
by other classes. For example we don't want to configure partitions on da0 if
it is part of gmirror, what we really want is partitions on mirror/foo.
During regular work it works like this: if provider is open for writing a class
receives the spoiled event from GEOM and detaches, once provider is closed the
taste event is send again and class can rediscover its metadata if it is still
there. This doesn't work that way when new class arrives, because GEOM gives
all existing providers for it to taste, also those open for writing. Classes
have to decided on their own if they want to deal with such providers (eg.
geom_dev) or not (classes modified by this commit).

sysinstall(8) still bogusly puts first partition at offset 0 instead of 16,
so glabel/ufs will find file system on slice instead of partition.
Before sysinstall is fixed, we must keep this code, which means that we
wont't be able to detect UFS file systems created with 'newfs -s ...'.
PS. bsdlabel(8) creates partitions properly.
