Hi Jes,
To avoid problem with udev and VROC UEFI driver I developed stronger
naming policy, basing on POSIX portable names standard. Verification is
added for names and config entries. In case of an issue, user can update
name to make it compatible (for IMSM and native).

The changes here may cause /dev/md/ link will be different than before
mdadm update. To make any of that happen user need to use unusual naming
convention, like:
- special, non standard signs like, $,%,&,* or space.
- '-' used as first sign.
- locals.

Note: I didn't analyze configurations with "names=1". If name cannot be
determined mdadm should fallback to default numbered dev creation.

If you are planning release soon then feel free to merge it after the
release. It is a potential regression point.

It is a new version of [1] but it is strongly rebuild. Here is a list
of changes:
1. negative and positive test scenarios for both create and config
   entries are added.
2. Save parsed parameters in dedicated structs. It is a way to control
   what is parsed, assuming that we should use dedicated set_* function.
3. Verification for config entries is added.
5. Improved error logging for names:
   - during creation, these messages are errors, printed to stderr.
   - for config entries, messages are just a warnings printed to stdout.
6. Error messages reworked.
7. Updates in manual.
