Implement uncached prefetch
Previously the primarycache property was handled only in the dbuf
layer. Since the speculative prefetcher is implemented in the ARC,
it had to be disabled for uncacheable buffers.

This change gives the ARC knowledge about uncacheable buffers
via  arc_read() and arc_write(). So when remove_reference() drops
the last reference on the ARC header, it can either immediately destroy
it, or if it is marked as prefetch, put it into a new arc_uncached state. 
That state is scanned every second, evicting stale buffers that were
not demand read.

This change also tracks dbufs that were read from the beginning,
but not to the end.  It is assumed that such buffers may receive further
reads, and so they are stored in dbuf cache. If a following
reads reaches the end of the buffer, it is immediately evicted.
Otherwise it will follow regular dbuf cache eviction.  Since the dbuf
layer does not know actual file sizes, this logic is not applied to
the final buffer of a dnode.

Since uncacheable buffers should no longer stay in the ARC for long,
this patch also tries to optimize I/O by allocating ARC physical
buffers as linear to allow buffer sharing.
