be4f357149 Normalize a significant number of kernel malloc type names:
- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
  memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.

- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
  as file names, such as '/' characters.

- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
  memory types.

- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.

- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
  attempt to use the same name in additional cases.

Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion.  Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.

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.

8d8363ee39 Introduce a new GEOM class - SHSEC. It provides sharing secret between
the given providers. Without even one of the configured components there
should be no way to get the secret.
