partitions; and to commit or undo changes made.

Change the way in which zero stripesize is handled. Instead of reporting
zero stripeoffset in such case (as if device has no stripes), report offset
from the beginning of the media (as if device has single infinite stripe).

This gives partitioning tools information, required to guess better
partition alignment, in case if hardware doesn't report it's stripe size.
For example, it should give disklabel info about odd offset made by fdisk.

If provider is open for writing when we taste it, skip it for classes that
depend on on-disk metadata. This was we won't attach to providers that are used
by other classes. For example we don't want to configure partitions on da0 if
it is part of gmirror, what we really want is partitions on mirror/foo.

During regular work it works like this: if provider is open for writing a class
receives the spoiled event from GEOM and detaches, once provider is closed the
taste event is send again and class can rediscover its metadata if it is still
there. This doesn't work that way when new class arrives, because GEOM gives
all existing providers for it to taste, also those open for writing. Classes
have to decided on their own if they want to deal with such providers (eg.
geom_dev) or not (classes modified by this commit).

Revert revisions 188839 and 188868. Use of the ioctl in geom_dev.c
is invalid because the ioctl happens without prior open. The ioctl
got introduced to provide backward compatibility for extended
partitions, but it ended up not being used because it didn't work
as expected. Since there are no consumers of the ioctl and the
implementation is broken, the best fix is to remove the code
entirely.
