gpart is the preferred tool for managing partitions of all types,
including BSD disklabels.
Note that this is only about bsdlabel/disklabel, the tool -- there is no
current plan to remove support for MBR or BSD disk labels from the
kernel or from gpart.

bsdlabel is intended to support up to 20 partitions, but the disklabel
struct has a d_partitions array with only BSD_NPARTS_MIN (8) entries.
Previously, an attempt to operate on a bsdlabel with more than eight
partitions resulted in a buffer overflow.
As a stopgap limit bsdlabel to 8 partitions until this is fixed
properly.

We've ifdef'd out the copyright strings for some time now. Go ahead and
remove the ifdefs. Plus whatever other detritis was left over from other
recent removals. These copyright strings are present in the comments and
are largely from CSRG's attempt at adding their copyright to every
binary file (which modern interpretations of the license doesn't
require).

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
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.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work. Advice
them to use gpart(8) instead.
Something similar should probably done with disklabel,
but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first.

The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.
I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
writing label into a file image. The most common use - putting disklabel
into ISO file. Before this change the label would always go to
the offset 512, while geom_part code expects it to be in the 1st
sector (i.e. 2048 incase of ISO). BSD disklabels provide good and
lightweight way to logically split livecds. It is non-intrusive as
far as ISO9660 goes (both boot-wise and metadata-wise) and
completely transparent to anything but BSD, so you can have
BSD-specific area appended after regular ISO.
And with a little bit of GEOM trickery you can do even more
interesting stuff with it.
For example we make "hybrid" bootable CDs using this method.
We create bootable ISO with kernel and such and append UFS
image compressed with UZIP and it works like a charm. We put
label based on the offsef of the BSD part into the ISO. The kernel
boots off normal ISO9660 part, tastes label attaches it,
tastes UZIP, attaches it and finally mounts UFS using GEOM_LABEL.
This provides much better way of eliminating waste than doing
"crunched" build.
