o _sil_read() used LOG_NOTICE rather than LOG_INFO in order to
avoid messages about valid metadata areas being displayed
during "dmraid -vay".
o isw, sil filed metadata offset on "-r -D" in sectors rather than in bytes.

removed that check for now. Status definitions needed.

MISCELANIOUS:
------------
o more inline comments
o libdmraid_init() now returns lib context

to check correct number of devices in sets; saves code in
metadata format handlers
o introduced read_raid_dev() to further reduce metadata format handler code
o optimized parse_table()
o updated dmraid manual
o devmapper.c: check target type registered before trying to load table record
o misc.c: avoid find_percent().

o converted get_scsi_serial to fallback using SG_IO,
SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND and ATA identify
o introduced p_fmt() for formated string pushs in order to
streamline activate.c; value return code of p_fmt()
o moved some paths + filenames to lib_context
o introduced RAID set flag for metadata format handlers
which decide to maximize capacity in unsymetric RAID0 sets

when it shouldn't
o return RAID super set pointer from hpt45x_group() and sil_group()
rather than sub set pointer
