geom/zero: Add support for unmapped I/O

This patch adds support for unmapped I/O to gzero(4).

geom/zero: Add support for unmapped I/O

This patch adds support for unmapped I/O to gzero(4).

Let's consider the following script to illustrate the change in
gzero(4)'s behavior:

```
dd="dd if=/dev/gzero of=/dev/null bs=512 count=100000"
dtrace -q -c "$dd" -n '
fbt::pmap_qenter:entry,
fbt::uiomove_fromphys:entry,
fbt::memset:entry
/execname == "dd"/
{
@[probefunc] = count();
}
'
```

Let's run that script 4 times:

```
==> 1: unmapped I/O not supported (fallback to mapped I/O), kern.geom.zero.clear=1
51200000 bytes transferred in 1.795809 secs (28510829 bytes/sec)
pmap_qenter 100000
memset 400011

==> 2: unmapped I/O not supported (fallback to mapped I/O), kern.geom.zero.clear=0
51200000 bytes transferred in 0.701079 secs (73030337 bytes/sec)
memset 300011

==> 3: unmapped I/O supported, kern.geom.zero.clear=1
51200000 bytes transferred in 0.771680 secs (66348750 bytes/sec)
uiomove_fromphys 100000
memset 300011

==> 4: unmapped I/O supported, kern.geom.zero.clear=0
51200000 bytes transferred in 0.621303 secs (82407407 bytes/sec)
memset 300011
```

If kern.geom.zero.clear=0, then nothing really changes as no copying takes
place. Otherwise, we see by adding unmapped I/O support we avoid calls to
pmap_qenter(), which was called by GEOM to turn unmapped I/O requests into
mapped ones before passing them for processing to gzero(4).

Annotate geom modules with MODULE_VERSION

GEOM ELI may double ask the password during boot. Once at loader time, and
once at init time.

This happens due a module loading bug. By default GEOM ELI caches the
password in the kernel, but without the MODULE_VERSION annotation, the
kernel loads over the kernel module, even if the GEOM ELI was compiled into
the kernel. In this case, the newly loaded module
purges/invalidates/overwrites the GEOM ELI's password cache, which causes
the double asking.

MFC Note: There's a pc98 component to the original submission that is
omitted here due to pc98 removal in head. This part will need to be revived
upon MFC.

sys/geom: adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

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.
