These patches create config_handle_wedges() for both x86 and
sparc64 to use.  On x86, handle_wedges() is a thin wrapper for
config_handle_wedges().

In support of moving disks between architectures (esp. i386 <-> evbmips),
I've written a routine convertdisklabel() that will uses a few strategies
to ensure that the raw partition is at RAW_DISK.

I've made it so that you can specify a root partition by wedge name, too.
E.g., wedge:wd0a, wedge:David's Root Volume.  I have some patches for
config(1), too, but they're not in this set.

I moved some common code into read_disk_sectors().

I have only tested on i386 and on evbmips, but sparc64 compiled.
