md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata.

In this case, the metadata needs to not be in the same
sector as the bitmap.
md will not read/write any bitmap metadata.  Config must be
done via sysfs and when a recovery makes the array non-degraded
again, writing 'true' to 'bitmap/can_clear' will allow bits in
the bitmap to be cleared again.

+     'internal' is the default and means the metadata for the bitmap
+     is stored in the first 256 bytes of the allocated space and is
+     managed by the md module.

+     This is either 'true' or 'false'.  If 'true', then bits in the
+     bitmap will be cleared when the corresponding blocks are thought
+     to be in-sync.  If 'false', bits will never be cleared.
+     This is automatically set to 'false' if a write happens on a

+     When metadata is managed externally, it should be set to true
+     once the array becomes non-degraded, and this fact has been
+     recorded in the metadata.
