Merge duplicate MD code into MI sr_open_chunk()

It does not have the prettiest signature, but nicely folds identical copies
into softraid.c, which then allows us to reuse sr_open_chunk() yet again in
an upcoming diff to make -p softraid aware (fixes arm64 installations).

Regress keeps passing.
Works fine on amd64, arm64 and sparc64.
"looks fine" mlarkin for whom this unbreaks a fresh arm64 softraid install

Skip softraid(4) keydisks

Keydisks appear as chunks internally (with special properties) and
installboot(8) thus treated them like actual data chunks.

Most users probably don't hit this as their keydisk is detached and thus
appears "offline" and gets skipped.

Installing to online keydisks may work but is neither expected nor intended
to work, so properly skip them.

Odd setups like keydisk and CRYPTO chunk on the same physical disk would
end up installing getting bootblocks installed twice.

provided the actual diff (minor wording tweaks by me)

softraid: make verbose messages -n/nowrite aware

Using installboot(8) in dry-run mode aka. -vn (verbose + nowrite) and first
reading "would install" followed by an "installing" made me uneasy.

Luckily, nothing was written in dry-run mode, it's just that the
softraid specific code fails to honour -n/nowrite.

So make sure it does and pull the printf out of `if (!nowrite)' so we
see the "would install" messages in dry-run mode in the first place.

Output diff for root on CRYPTO softraid on biosboot(8/amd64) to illustrate:

-# installboot -nv sd1
+# ./obj/installboot -nv sd1

using first-stage /usr/mdec/biosboot, second-stage /usr/mdec/boot
sd1: softraid volume with 1 disk(s)
+sd1: would install boot loader on softraid volume
/usr/mdec/boot is 6 blocks x 16384 bytes
-sd0a: installing boot blocks on /dev/rsd0c, part offset 144

For open/openat, if the flags parameter does not contain O_CREAT, the
3rd (variadic) mode_t parameter is irrelevant. Many developers in the past
have passed mode_t (0, 044, 0644, or such), which might lead future people
to copy this broken idiom, and perhaps even believe this parameter has some
meaning or implication or application. Delete them all.
This comes out of a conversation where tb@ noticed that a strange (but
intentional) pledge behaviour is to always knock-out high-bits from
mode_t on a number of system calls as a safety factor, and his bewilderment
that this appeared to be happening against valid modes (at least visually),
but no sorry, they are all irrelevant junk. They could all be 0xdeafbeef.

Provide clear errors when trying to install oversized boot loader

sparc64 installboot(8) on softraid(4) with too large files, e.g. unstripped
builds, fails poorly with "installboot: softraid installboot failed".

This is due to the BIOCINSTALLBOOT ioctl(2) returing the default EINVAL
rather than using softraid's sr_error() interface properly; additionally,
installboot does not check for such message from the bio(4) layer.


Make the kernel generate "boot block too large" and "boot loader too large"
messages for softraid devices and have installboot act upon them analogous
to bioctl(8), by adapting its bio_status() into the new sr_status() helper.

Input, reminder to look at bioctl, same kernel diff from, OK jsing
