Add a caching option to dump. Use -C. Note that NetBSD has a caching option
called -r but it takes 512 byte blocks instead of megabytes, and I felt a
megabytes specification would be far more useful so I did not use the same
option character.
This will *greatly* improve dump performance at the cost of possibly
missing filesystem changes that occur between passes, and does a fairly
good job making up for the loss of buffered block devices. Caching is disabled
by default to retain historical behavior.
In tests, dump performance improved by about 40% when dumping / or /usr.
Beware that dump forks and the cache may wind up being larger then you
specify, but a more complex shared memory implementation would not produce
results that are all that much better so I kept it simple for now.
