Use VOP_ADVISE() with POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED instead of IO_DIRECT to
implement not double-caching for reads from vnode-backed md devices.
Use VOP_ADVISE() similarly instead of !IO_DIRECT unsimilarly for writes.
Add a "cache" option to mdconfig to allow changing the default of not
caching.

This depends on a recent commit to fix VOP_ADVISE(). A previous version
had optimizations for sequential i/o's (merge the i/o's and only uncache
for discontiguous i/o's and for full blocks), but optimizations and
knowledge of block boundaries belong in VOP_ADVISE(). Read-ahead should
also be handled better, by supporting it in md and discarding it in
VOP_ADVISE().

POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED is ignored by zfs, but so is IO_DIRECT.

POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED works better than IO_DIRECT if it is not ignored,
since it only discards from the buffer cache immediately, while
IO_DIRECT also discards from the page cache immediately.

IO_DIRECT was not used for writes since it was claimed to be too slow,
but most of the slowness for writes is from doing them synchronously by
default. Non-synchronous writes still deadlock in many cases.

IO_DIRECT only has a special implementation for ffs reads with DIRECTIO
configured. Otherwise, if it is not ignored than it uses the buffer and
page caches normally except for discarding everything after each i/o,
and then it has much the same overheads as POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED. The
overheads for reading with ffs and DIRECTIO were similar in tests of md.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

No functional change intended.

Add ability to label md(4) devices.

This feature comes from the fact that we rely memory-backed md(4)
in our build process heavily. However, if the build goes haywire
the allocated resources (i.e. swap and memory-backed md(4)'s) need
to be purged. It is extremely useful to have ability to attach
arbitrary labels to each of the virtual disks so that they can
be identified and GC'ed if neecessary.
