md: allow configuring logical block size

Previously, raid array used the maximum logical block size (LBS)
of all member disks. Adding a larger LBS disk at runtime could
unexpectedly increase RAID's LBS, risking corruption of existing
partitions. This can be reproduced by:

```
  # LBS of sd[de] is 512 bytes, sdf is 4096 bytes.
  mdadm -CRq /dev/md0 -l1 -n3 /dev/sd[de] missing --assume-clean

  # LBS is 512
  cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size

  # create partition md0p1
  parted -s /dev/md0 mklabel gpt mkpart primary 1MiB 100%
  lsblk | grep md0p1

  # LBS becomes 4096 after adding sdf
  mdadm --add -q /dev/md0 /dev/sdf
  cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size

  # partition lost
  partprobe /dev/md0
  lsblk | grep md0p1
```

Simply restricting larger-LBS disks is inflexible. In some scenarios,
only disks with 512 bytes LBS are available currently, but later, disks
with 4KB LBS may be added to the array.

Making LBS configurable is the best way to solve this scenario.
After this patch, the raid will:
  - store LBS in disk metadata
  - add a read-write sysfs 'mdX/logical_block_size'

Future mdadm should support setting LBS via metadata field during RAID
creation and the new sysfs. Though the kernel allows runtime LBS changes,
users should avoid modifying it after creating partitions or filesystems
to prevent compatibility issues.

Only 1.x metadata supports configurable LBS. 0.90 metadata inits all
fields to default values at auto-detect. Supporting 0.90 would require
more extensive changes and no such use case has been observed.

Note that many RAID paths rely on PAGE_SIZE alignment, including for
metadata I/O. A larger LBS than PAGE_SIZE will result in metadata
read/write failures. So this config should be prevented.
