Incremental: allow recently removed device to be added as a spare.
Currently, action=force-spare isn't effective at all as I'm not sure what is really sensible. This patch allows a device that was part of an array, but has been removed, to be added as a spare of passed to --incremental while force-spare is active. If it is can be re-added, that done first. If it fails, we add it as a spare. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
