Since Linux 5.4 a layout is needed for RAID0 arrays with
varying device sizes.
This patch makes the layout of an array visible (via --examine)
and sets the layout on newly created arrays.
--layout=dangerous
can be used to avoid setting a layout so that they array
can be used on older kernels.

Currently if a md raid0/linear array gets one or more members removed while
being mounted, kernel keeps showing state 'clean' in the 'array_state'
sysfs attribute. Despite udev signaling the member device is gone, 'mdadm'
cannot issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl successfully, given the array is mounted.
Nothing else hints that something is wrong (except that the removed devices
don't show properly in the output of mdadm 'detail' command). There is no
other property to be checked, and if user is not performing reads/writes
to the array, even kernel log is quiet and doesn't give a clue about the
missing member.
This patch is the mdadm counterpart of kernel new array state 'broken'.
The 'broken' state mimics the state 'clean' in every aspect, being useful
only to distinguish if an array has some member missing. All necessary
paths in mdadm were changed to deal with 'broken' state, and in case the
tool runs in a kernel that is not updated, it'll work normally, i.e., it
doesn't require the 'broken' state in order to work.
Also, this patch changes the way the array state is showed in the 'detail'
command (for raid0/linear only) - now it takes the 'array_state' sysfs
attribute into account instead of only rely in the MD_SB_CLEAN flag.

Use CONSISTENCY_POLICY_UNKNOWN instead. Simplify some checks because
since 5e8e35fb7e ("maps: Use keyvalue for null terminator to indicate
'unset' value") map_name() can return this default directly.

This simplifies the code calling map_name() so it no longer has to
manually check for UnSet and convert the value manually.

While we are unlikely to fail here, terminate the modes map correctly
to ensure we don't start running over undefined data.

Add a new parameter to mdadm: --consistency-policy=. It determines how
the array maintains consistency in case of unexpected shutdown. This
maps to the md sysfs attribute 'consistency_policy'. It can be used to
create a raid5 array using PPL. Add the necessary plumbing to pass this
option to metadata handlers. The write journal and bitmap
functionalities are treated as different policies, which are implicitly
selected when using --write-journal or --bitmap options.
