Synopsis: Add endian independent disklabel support to system with MBR support

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: rin%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Sun, 12 Feb 2017 12:09:49 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
This functionality has already been provided by wedge(4) driver.
The system can recognize disklabels in the different byte order by
DKWEDGE_METHOD_BSDLABEL option combined with dkscan_bsdlabel(8) or
DKWEDGE_AUTODISCOVER option. This is more portable way than mine.

Thanks mlelstv and martin for letting me know about wedge(4).
