Once the RAID0 layout has been set, the RAID0 array cannot be assembled
on an older kernel which doesn't understand layouts.
This is an intentional safety feature, but sometimes people need the
ability to roll-back to a previously working configuration.
So add "--update=layout-unspecified" to remove RAID0 layout information
from the superblock.
Running "--assemble --update=layout-unspecified" will cause the assembly
the fail when run on a newer kernel, but will allow it to work on
an older kernel.

If you have a RAID0 array with varying sized devices
on a kernel before 5.4, you cannot assembling it on
5.4 or later without explicitly setting the layout.
This is now possible with
--update=layout-original (For 3.13 and earlier kernels)
or
--update=layout-alternate (for 3.14 and later kernels)

Since Linux 5.4 a layout is needed for RAID0 arrays with
varying device sizes.
This patch makes the layout of an array visible (via --examine)
and sets the layout on newly created arrays.
--layout=dangerous
can be used to avoid setting a layout so that they array
can be used on older kernels.

Allow per-device "failfast" flag to be set when creating an
array or adding devices to an array.
When re-adding a device which had the failfast flag, it can be removed
using --nofailfast.
failfast status is printed in --detail and --examine output.

* Aligned the spelling of “RAID” to use captial letters in all places.
* Aligned the spelling of the RAID level names (LINEAR, RAID1, …) to use capital
letters in all places, except for the string “faulty” in places where not the
RAID level was meant.

There are many questions on the mailing list about the RAID1 read
performance profile. This patch adds a new paragraph to the RAID1
section in md.4 that details what kind of speed-up one should expect
from RAID1.
