libnvdimm: namespace indices: read and validate
This on media label format [1] consists of two index blocks followed by
an array of labels. None of these structures are ever updated in place.
A sequence number tracks the current active index and the next one to
write, while labels are written to free slots.

| label0 |

| label1 |

After reading valid labels, store the dpa ranges they claim into
per-dimm resource trees.
