Add mbr pseudo metadata handler.
To support incorpating a new bare device into a collection of arrays - one partition each - mdadm needs a modest understanding of partition tables. The main needs to be able to recognise a partition table on one device and copy it onto another. This will be done using pseudo metadata types 'mbr' and 'gpt'.
