Add function find_drive_by_devname to help the simplified

Show the available sectors relative to the user-available part of

Describe new scale letter for sizes: 's' (sector) instead of 'b'
(block). Both mean 512 bytes, but 'b' is deprecated because it's

vinum_stop: sleep for a second before unloading. This solves a race

Update information about partition type for Vinum drives. They
*should* be of type 'vinum', but currently we still accept (and
complain about) partitions of type 'unused'. At a later date, only
'vinum' will be accepted.

Modify description of start command to include 'start' with no
parameters, which reads the config from all drives found on the
system.
the wrong module can cause confusion, including loading both versions
(which conflict with each other) and incorrect ioctls, which cause
unintelligible error messages.
Extend 'start' command: if used without any parameters, vinum scans
all disks known to devstat for vinum drives and reads their
configuration.
- Comment out the description of the unimplemented replace command
- Explain in even stronger language that resetconfig is not for
everyday use
Motivated by: Marko Schütz <marko@ki.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de>
- Correct the description of the start command (no longer used to
start vinum, just specific objects)

- Remove .TH N commands, which conflict badly with the doc macros,
causing strange headings in nroff output and endless loops in troff.
The current version produces warning messages with some screen
sizes, and will be fixed when I have time.

- Add gotcha info for the setupstate keyword and the use of label and
resetconfig.
- Add bug entry for the warning messages introduced by fixing
docs/9328.
- Add references to web pages on Vinum
- Describe subdisk attachment in more detail
- Describe new 'makedev' command
- Correct use of 'partition' and 'slice'
- Describe 'setupstate' keyword
- Include performance guidelines for striped plexes
- Correct numerical values in examples
- Add examples for disklabel(8)
- Clarify problems creating Vinum drives on inappropriate partitions

unused static inlines in headers without -O.
Fixed missing libraries in DPADD.
Use .PATH instead of a symlink farm.
Removed bogus dependency of util.c on statetext.h (only util.o depends
on it). Removed rule for building statetext.h. The dependency was used
to get statetext.h built, but statetext.h is a non-generated source file
so it doesn't need building. This fixes an annoying message for the null
build and use of `make' instead of ${MAKE} to do the null build.
Fixed some style bugs.
