mdadm udev rules file just for incremental assembly/disassembly

I actually don't keep the rules all in one file in Fedora, I have the
udev supplied 64-md-raid.rules file that I don't control and that has
the majority of stuff in it, but none of the incremental assembly stuff.
 Then I have a separate 65-md-incremental.rules file that is part of the
mdadm package and I therefore have direct control over.  That allows me
to turn incremental assembly on and off as I see fit without having to
bother the udev package maintainer.  So, just so you can see how I'm
doing things now that works with dracut, that honors whether or not the
system is set up to use mdadm or dmraid to handle imsm devices, and see
how both incremental assembly and disassembly of devices, and the rule
to handle incremental assembly of containers in a post-initramfs
environment looks like, here it is.

I should note that this is all tested and working at this point, so on
to the next step.  Although I will note that I had to turn down
sync_speed_max on my imsm arrays or a resync would make the system
completely unresponsive until it completed.  And I've got at least one
bug to that effect open right now.  So, I suspect the kernel is not
honoring the "only use idle time" part of the resync speed description.
