6e02adf310 - Make use of the new and g_device_path utility function in libgeom to avoid
duplication of code in fdisk and boot0cfg. Also make use of g_providername to
  fix an issue with fdisk and boot0cfg not using the correct provider when
  writing the MBR.

19150ba4f8 Split MBR and PC98 on-disk sliceformats out from disklabel.h, step 1:
Peter had repocopied sys/disklabel.h to sys/diskpc98.h and sys/diskmbr.h.

These two new copies are still intact copies of disklabel.h and
therefore protected by #ifndef _SYS_DISKLABEL_H_ so #including them
in programs which already include <sys.disklabel.h> is currently a
no-op.

This commit adds a number of such #includes.

Once I have verified that I have fixed all the places which need fixing,
I will commit the updated versions of the three #include files.

c882f3a97e - When we save the existing MBR to a file, check to see if the MBR we are
saving is boot0.  If it is, use its version number so that we can grab
  all of boot0 (1024 bytes with version 1.1 for example) when we save it
  to a file via the 'f' option.  Otherwise, we just save the first sector.
- Cleanup this code a bit by splitting some functionality out into separate
  functions.

f965e9b866 Update boot0cfg to handle the new boot0:
- Allow for boot0 to be more than one sector long.  However, ensure that it
  its length is a multiple of the sector length.
- Change the signatures used to determine a valid boot0 as some of the
  signature code changed.
- Use the old signature to detect version 1.0 of boot0, otherwise read the
  version number from boot0 itself.
