libnvdimm, label: add address abstraction identifiers
Starting with v1.2 labels, 'address abstractions' can be hinted via an address abstraction id that implies an info-block format. The standard address abstraction in the specification is the v2 format of the Block-Translation-Table (BTT). Support for that is saved for a later patch, for now we add support for the Linux supported address abstractions BTT (v1), PFN, and DAX. The new 'holder_class' attribute for namespace devices is added for tooling to specify the 'abstraction_guid' to store in the namespace label. For v1.1 labels this field is undefined and any setting of 'holder_class' away from the default 'none' value will only have effect until the driver is unloaded. Setting 'holder_class' requires that whatever device tries to claim the namespace must be of the specified class.
