Make incremental mode work with partitionable arrays
There were multiple problems with incremental mode and partitionable arrays. Change the logic to pay more attention to what it finds in mdadm.conf when setting up incremental arrays. Modify is_standard to differentiate between a required partitioned name format and an optionally partitioned named format. Modify open_mddev() to know about change to is_standard. Make Incremental differentiate between create default autof setting, command line autof setting, and array specific autof setting, with order of preference being command line, conf file, default. Disable the homehost test in the event there is no match for an array so we can hotplug new arrays into a running machine without them having to exist in mdadm.conf first (a random array number will be picked for the hot plugged array). Honor any name from mdadm.conf that matches the UUID of a device, not just standard names. Verify that the array name as matched in mdadm.conf allows the requested mode of operation and reject attempts to start non-partitionable arrays as partitioned and vice versa.
