Support for deleting a subarray out of a container. When all subarrays
are deleted the component devices are converted back into spares, a
--zero-superblock is still needed to kill the remaining metadata at this
point. This operation is blocked when the subarray is active and may
also be blocked by the metadata handler when deleting the subarray might
change the uuid of other active subarrays. For example, with imsm,
deleting subarray 'n' may change the uuid of subarrays with indexes > n.
Deleting a subarray needs to be a container wide event to ensure
disks that record the modified subarray list perceive other disks that
did not receive this change as out of date.
Notes:
The st->subarray parsing in super-intel.c and super-ddf.c is updated to
be more strict now that we are reading user supplied subarray values.
Offline container modification shares actions that mdmon typically
handles so promote is_container_member() and version_to_superswitch()
(formerly find_metadata_methods()) to generic utility functions for the
cases where mdadm performs the operation.

These metadata are not expected on partitions, and they have
no way of differentiation whether which is correct if they
are found both on the device and on the last partition.
So if the device is a partition, refuse to read the metadata.

Code to check partition tables used some needless casts
and was broken, using a u8 when a u32 was wanted.
So create structure describing the tables rather than using offset,
and read into those tables instead.

The load_super() from an mdadm --detail call may race against an mdmon
update. When this happens the load_super sees an inconsistent metadata
block and returns an error. The fallback path to use the map file
contents lacks uuid reporting, so provide __fname_from_uuid for
generically printing a uuid.

Spares for imsm arrays do not have any info about the container in their
metadata records. If Detail() inadvertantly picks such a device for
->get_array_info() it will end up with less than useful info for the
container. So, continue to read from the disks until a non-spare device
is found.
This bug was found by timeouts waiting for udev to create the
user-friendly container name. To detect future UUID reporting problems
and a debug print to the timeout case in wait_for().

The family_number field can change. The option-rom will change the
family number when it starts a rebuild process (flags a container for
rebuild). This was not seen previously as mdadm would usually start the
rebuild process, preserving the family number.
This is the mechanism that helps to prevent a prodigal array member from
being returned to its original system and cause a rebuild to go in the
wrong direction. With the change we will end up with a container that
will fail to assemble unless the device with the incompatible family
number is left out of the assembly.
So, take several actions:
1/ Convert uuid generation to use orig_family_num, being careful to
preserve the existing uuid in the case where orig_family_num is not
set (i.e. previous mdadm created imsm arrays)
2/ Set orig_family_num at Create. For arrays created by mdadm prior to
this release orig_family_num will be zero, so set it to family_num at
the first metadata write.
3/ Add checks for orig_family_num to compare_super_imsm
4/ Update the family number when initiating rebuild
5/ The option-rom mixes some random data into the family number, add
this functionality to the mdadm implementation.

When building container members with -IR, we need to ensure that
devices added to an active array preserve the 'in_sync' status so they
don't needlessly get rebuilt.
So allow sysfs_add_disk to do this (only works in kernels since
2.6.30) and pass the relevant flag down.

Now that names in /dev are usually created (eventually) by udev,
it isn't really safe to rely in finding a name in /dev to pass to
mdmon to identify which array to monitor.
And it isn't really necessary to have a name in /dev.
So just pass the symbolic name, e.g. md127 or md123.
Change util.c to pass that name, and change mdmon to process the
name sensibly.

If incremental assembly finds an array mentioned in mdadm.conf,
with a 'standard partitioned' name like /dev/md_d0 or /dev/md/d0,
it will not create a partitioned array like it should.
This is because it mishandled the 'devnum' returned by
is_standard.
That is a devnum that does not have the partition-or-not encoded
into it. So we need to check the actual return value of
is_standard and encode the partition-or-not info into the devnum.
Also fix a couple of comments.

Showing e.g.

Make it less confusing by only printing whichever number is not 1.
If both are 1, make that clear too (i.e. no redundancy).
When we assemble an array, there are three different approaches

echo "removed after $x attempts"
