Add new mode: --incremental

--incremental allows arrays to be assembled one device at a time.

Change handling for "--assemble --force" when two drives disappeared at once.

If two drives in a raid5 disappear at the same time, then "-Af"
will add them both in rather than just one and forcing the array
to 'clean'. This is slightly safer in some cases.

Improve allocation and use of space for bitmaps in version1 metadata
...
Depending on the size of the array we reserve space for up to 128K
of bitmap, and we use it where possible.
When hot-adding to a version 1.0 we can still only use the 3K at the
end though - need a sysfs interface to improve that.
If a small chunksize is requested on Create, we don't auto-enlarge
the reserved space - this still needs to be fixed.

If an auto-assembly attempt failes because the array cannot be
opened or because the array has already been created, then we
get into an infinite loop.

This is useful if they are started read-only as is best at boot-time.
