Add a way to specify stripesize and stripeoffset to gnop(8). This makes
it possible to "simulate" 4K media, to eg test alignment handling.

lseek() allows an offset to be set beyond the end of file. Using
it to check that partition has enough space to write bootcode doesn't
work. Use the known size of provider instead.

Add apple-boot, apple-hfs and apple-ufs aliases to MBR scheme.
Sort DOSPTYP_* entries in diskmbr.h by value.
Document these scheme-specific types in gpart(8).
When gpart(8) is trying automatically determine the first available
block of free space after existing partition, take into account
provider's stripeoffset, since the result will be adjusted to this
value.

r264978 (nwhitehorn):
Add EFI support to the installer. This requires that the kernel
provide a sysctl to determine what firmware is in use. This sysctl
does not exist yet, so the following blocks are in front of the
wheels:
- I've provisionally called this "hw.platform" after the equivalent
thing on PPC
- The logic to check the sysctl is short-circuited to always choose
BIOS. There's a comment in the top of the file about how to turn
this off.
If IA64 acquired a boot1.efifat-like thing (probably with very few
modifications), the same code could be adapted there.
r265016 (nwhitehorn):
Finish connecting up installer UEFI support. If the kernel was
booted using EFI, set up the disks for an EFI system. If booted from
BIOS/CSM, set up for BIOS.
r268256 (nwhitehorn):
After EFI support was added to the installer, it needed to allow
boot partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular,
"efi"). This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting
PowerPC systems, in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot
on APM and an IBM-specific code on MBR.
This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also
breaks a degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the
addition of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from
GPT in addition to MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which
those systems are, leave the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for
now.

Add disklabel64 support to GEOM_PART class.
This partitioning scheme is used in DragonFlyBSD. It is similar to
BSD disklabel, but has the following improvements:
* metadata has own dedicated place and isn't accessible through partitions;
* all offsets are 64-bit;
* supports 16 partitions by default (has reserved place for more);
* has reserved place for backup label (but not yet implemented);
* has UUIDs for partitions and partition types;

Prevent users from deactivating the last component of a mirror.
MFC r259929:
Add an ability to stop gmirror and clear its metadata in one command.
This fixes the problem, when gmirror starts again just after stop.
The problem occurs when gmirror's component has geom label with equal size.
E.g. gpt and gptid have the same size as partition, diskid has the same
size as entire disk. When gmirror's geom has been destroyed, glabel
creates its providers and this initiate retaste.
Now "gmirror destroy" command is available. It destroys geom and also
erases gmirror's metadata.

Add "resize" verb to gmirror(8) and such functionality to geom_mirror(4).

This allows setting attributes on tables. One simply does not provide
an index in that case. Otherwise the entry corresponding the index has
the attribute set or unset.
Use this change to fix a relatively longstanding bug in our GPT scheme
that's the result of rev 198097 (relatively harmless) followed by rev
237057 (damaging). The damaging part being that our GPT scheme always
has the active flag set on the PMBR slice. This is in violation with
EFI. Existing EFI implementions for both x86 and ia64 reject the GPT.
As such, GPT disks created by us aren't usable under EFI because of
that.
After this change, GPT disks never have the active flag set on the PMBR
slice. In order to make the GPT disk bootable under some x86 BIOSes,
the reason of rev 198097, one must now set the active attribute on the
gpt table. The kernel will apply this to the PMBR slice For (S)ATA:
gpart set -a active ada0
To fix an existing GPT disk that has the active flag set in the PMBR,
and that does not need the flag, use (again for (S)ATA):
gpart unset -a active ada0
The EBR, MBR & PC98 schemes, which also impement at least 1 attribute,
now check to make sure the entry passed is valid. They do not have
attributes that apply to the table.
This compiler flag enforces that that people either mark variables
static or use an external declarations for the variable, similar to how
-Wmissing-prototypes works for functions.
Due to the fact that Yacc/Lex generate code that cannot trivially be
changed to not warn because of this (lots of yy* variables), add a
NO_WMISSING_VARIABLE_DECLARATIONS that can be used to turn off this
specific compiler warning.
