We are about to change the syntax of the version string
for 'subarray's. So factor out the test into a single function.

start_mdmon now waits for mdmon to complete initialisation and,
importantly, listen on the socket, before continuing.

Rather, assume that it is in the same directory from which
mdadm was run. If not, then maybe /sbin or current directory.

Using buffered IO risks non-atomic updates to parts of the
device that we don't actually want to write to. This isn't in
general safe.
So switch to O_DIRECT for all that IO and make sure we have
properly aligned buffers.
When loading the metadata for a subarray (super_by_fd), we set
->subarray to be the name read from md/metadata_version so that
getinfo_super can return info about the correct array.
With this we can differentiate between a container and
an array within the container by looking at ->subarray[0].
I want the metadata handler to have more control over the 'version',
particularly for arrays which are members of containers.
So discard st->text_version and instead use info->text_version
which getinfo_super can initialise.

Create a ddf array by naming the device /dev/ddf* or
specifying metadata 'ddf'.
If ddf is specified with no level, assume a container (indeed,
anything else would be wrong).
**Need to use text_Version to set external metadata...
More ddf support
Load a ddf container. Now
--examine /dev/ddf
works.

- Fix a bug where mdassemble didn't close a filedescriptor and so couldn't assembele
stacked arrays.
- Allow mdassemble, when run a second time, to mark all arrays as writable.
This is useful if they are started read-only as is best at boot-time.
If not 'ftw' is available, still allow openning of devices by dev number.
More recent version of uclibc support nftw, so add support to check
for that.
pass CFLAGS to mdassemble build, enabling -Wall -Werror showed some
issues also fixed by the patch.
