When an array is created the content is not initialized,
so it could have remnants of an old filesystem or md array
etc on it.
udev will see this and might try to activate it, which is almost
certainly not what is wanted.
So create a mechanism for mdadm to communicate with udev to tell
it that the device isn't ready. This mechanism is the existance
of a file /run/mdadm/created-mdXXX where mdXXX is the md device name.
When creating an array, mdadm will create the file.
A new udev rule file, 01-md-raid-creating.rules, will detect the
precense of thst file and set ENV{SYSTEMD_READY}="0".
This is fairly uniformly used to suppress actions based on the
contents of the device.

We currently use '1' to indicate that a flag (writemostly or failfast)
needs to be set, and '2' to indicate that it needs to be cleared.
Using magic number like this is not a best-practice.
So replaced them with values from a enum.
No functional change.

It is best to keep strings all together so that they
are easier to search for in the source code.
If a string is so long that it looks ugly one line,
them maybe it should be broken into multiple lines
for display too.
Only strings which contain a newline can be broken
into multiple lines:
"It is OK to\n"
"break this string\n"

Here, "large" means components are 100G or more. It is
usually beneficial to have write-intent bitmaps on such arrays.
They can be suppressed with --bitmap=none

We widely use a "devnum" which is 0 or +ve for md%d devices
and -ve for md_d%d devices.
But I want to be able to use md_%s device names.
So get rid of devnum (a number) and use devnm (a 32char string).
eg.
md0
md_d2
md_home

Change the values for "max size" from -1 to 1.
Messed up 's->size' - leaving it as '1' (MAX_SIZE) in some cases and
causing the array reshape to fail.

Both are impossible, and '1' allows size to be unsigned,
which is neater.
Also #define MAX_SIZE to be '1' to make it all more explicit.

This patch enables the --size parameter for build operations.
Without this, if you have a raid1, for instance, where the 2 disks are
not the exact same size, and you need to build the array but one of the
disks is not available right at the moment (maybe it's USB and it's
unplugged, or maybe it's a network disk and it's unavailable), then you
have to play some weird games to get the array to size correctly (that
is, to the size of the smaller of the two components or less).
There may be other uses for this too...

We previously only updated /var/run/mdadm/map when starting an

We will shortly be feeding more information into the process of
creating array devices, so delay the creation. Still open them
early if the device already exists.
This involves making sure the autof flag is in the right place
so that it can be found at creation time.
Also, Assemble, Build, and Create now always close 'mdfd'.
