(And 4Kn minidump support, but only for amd64.)
Make sure all I/O to the dump device is of the native sector size. To
that end, we keep a native sector sized buffer associated with dump
devices (di->blockbuf) and use it to pad smaller objects as needed (e.g.
kerneldumpheader).
Add dump_write_pad() as a convenience API to dump smaller objects with
zero padding. (Rather than pull in NPM leftpad, we wrote our own.)
Savecore(1) has been updated to deal with these dumps. The format for
512-byte sector dumps should remain backwards compatible.
Minidumps for other architectures are left as an exercise for the
reader.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

last one. To make it easier to find the last one create symlinks with 'last'
suffix that will point to the files of the last coredump, eg.:
info.last -> info.5
textdump.tar.last.gz -> textdump.tar.5.gz

provide dump directory. Eliminate this redundant argument. This changes
the usage, but the only risk here is that a warning will be printed
about directory given as device.
- Update usage of -C option.
- When clearing dump header from the given device there is also no need to
provide dump directory, although additional arguments for -c were not
documented.
- Document that -v can be used with -c and that list of devices can be given.

rather than the memcmp() which is used for regular dumps: the
textdump string is one character shorter, so we need to stop
comparing at the end of the string.
Use independent version checking logic for architecture-specific
version number vs. textdump version number, as the version sequences
may (someday) differ.

at LOG_WARNING by default; instead, consider it something to be printed
to the tty when 'verbose' mode is set. This avoids printing out extra
lines at every boot on a system with crash dumps enabled, but that has
not yet had to generate a crashdump.
