84a309987c Add "GEOM_FOX", a class which detects and selects between multiple
redundant paths to the same device.

This class reacts to a label in the first sector of the device,
which is created the following way:

        #    "0123456789abcdef012345..."
        #    "<----magic-----><-id-...>
        echo "GEOM::FOX       someid" | dd of=/dev/da0 conv=sync

NB: Since the fact that multiple disk devices are in fact the same
    device is not known to GEOM, the geom taste/spoil process cannot
    fully catch all corner cases and this module can therefore be
    confused if you do the right wrong things.

NB: The disk level drivers need to do the right thing for this to
    be useful, and that is not by definition currently the case.
