Add support for reading MAM attributes to camcontrol(8) and libcam(3).

MAM is Medium Auxiliary Memory and is most commonly found as flash
chips on tapes.

This includes support for reading attributes and decoding most
known attributes, but does not yet include support for writing
attributes or reporting attributes in XML format.

libsbuf/Makefile:
Add subr_prf.c for the new sbuf_hexdump() function. This
function is essentially the same function.

libsbuf/Symbol.map:
Add a new shared library minor version, and include the
sbuf_hexdump() function.

libsbuf/Version.def:
Add version 1.4 of the libsbuf library.

libutil/hexdump.3:
Document sbuf_hexdump() alongside hexdump(3), since it is
essentially the same function.

camcontrol/Makefile:
Add attrib.c.

camcontrol/attrib.c:
Implementation of READ ATTRIBUTE support for camcontrol(8).

camcontrol/camcontrol.8:
Document the new 'camcontrol attrib' subcommand.

camcontrol/camcontrol.c:
Add the new 'camcontrol attrib' subcommand.

camcontrol/camcontrol.h:
Add a function prototype for scsiattrib().

share/man/man9/sbuf.9:
Document the existence of sbuf_hexdump() and point users to
the hexdump(3) man page for more details.

sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c:
Add a table of known attributes, text descriptions and
handler functions.

Add a new scsi_attrib_sbuf() function along with a number
of other related functions that help decode attributes.

scsi_attrib_ascii_sbuf() decodes ASCII format attributes.

scsi_attrib_int_sbuf() decodes binary format attributes, and
will pass them off to scsi_attrib_hexdump_sbuf() if they're
bigger than 8 bytes.

scsi_attrib_vendser_sbuf() decodes the vendor and drive
serial number attribute.

scsi_attrib_volcoh_sbuf() decodes the Volume Coherency
Information attribute that LTFS writes out.

sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
Add a number of attribute-related structure definitions and
other defines.

Add function prototypes for all of the functions added in
scsi_all.c.

sys/kern/subr_prf.c:
Add a new function, sbuf_hexdump(). This is the same as
the existing hexdump(9) function, except that it puts the
result in an sbuf.

This also changes subr_prf.c so that it can be compiled in
userland for includsion in libsbuf.

We should work to change this so that the kernel hexdump
implementation is a wrapper around sbuf_hexdump() with a
statically allocated sbuf with a drain. That will require
a drain function that goes to the kernel printf() buffer
that can take a non-NUL terminated string as input.
That is because an sbuf isn't NUL-terminated until it is
finished, and we don't want to finish it while we're still
using it.

We should also work to consolidate the userland hexdump and
kernel hexdump implemenatations, which are currently
separate. This would also mean making applications that
currently link in libutil link in libsbuf.

sys/sys/sbuf.h:
Add the prototype for sbuf_hexdump(), and add another copy
of the hexdump flag values if they aren't already defined.

Ideally the flags should be defined in one place but the
implemenation makes it difficult to do properly. (See
above.)

MFC r278111: Retry indefinitely on SCSI BUSY status from VMware disks and CDs.

VMware returns BUSY status when storage has transient connectivity issues.
It is often better to wait and let VM admin fix the problem then crash.


# 259204 10-Dec-2013 nwhitehorn

MFC r257345,257382,257388:

Implement extended LUN support. If PIM_EXTLUNS is set by a SIM, encode
the upper 32-bits of the LUN, if possible, into the target_lun field as
passed directly from the REPORT LUNs response. This allows extended LUN
support to work for all LUNs with zeros in the lower 32-bits, which covers
most addressing modes without breaking KBI. Behavior for drivers not
setting PIM_EXTLUNS is unchanged. No user-facing interfaces are modified.

Extended LUNs are stored with swizzled 16-bit word order so that, for
devices implementing LUN addressing (like SCSI-2), the numerical
representation of the LUN is identical with and without PIM_EXTLUNS. Thus
setting PIM_EXTLUNS keeps most behavior, and user-facing LUN IDs, unchanged.
This follows the strategy used in Solaris. A macro (CAM_EXTLUN_BYTE_SWIZZLE)
is provided to transform a lun_id_t into a uint64_t ordered for the wire.

This is the second part of work for full 64-bit extended LUN support and is
designed to a bridge for stable/10 to the final 64-bit LUN code. The
third and final part will involve widening lun_id_t to 64 bits and will
not be MFCed. This third part will break the KBI but will keep the KPI
unchanged so that all drivers that will care about this can be updated now
and not require code changes between HEAD and stable/10.
