adding BBU relearn support to mfiutil

Hi Everyone,
I recently needed to add a couple of features to mfiutil related to BBU
relearning. I've pasted a patch below which
1. adds extra fields to the output of "mfiutil show battery" showing BBU
properties. This is essentially the output of
# MegaCli -AdpBbuInfo -GetBbuProperties -aLL
and consists of info about battery learning: the learn period, the
time at which the controller will start the next relearn, and the BBU
mode (which indicates whether the battery supports transparent
relearning).
2. adds a couple of subcommands under "mfiutil bbu" which lets users set
the BBU properties which can be set by MegaCli.
3. adds a command "mfiutil start learn" which immediately kicks off a
battery relearn.
These changes grew out of concern about the fact that the controller
write cache is set to write-through mode during a relearn period (which
usually lasts for several hours). This ended up causing some mysterious
and intermittent performance issues, so I needed a way of getting more
info about what was going on (using MegaCli isn't really an option for
several reasons). Some BBUs support transparent relearning, which
basically means that the controller write cache doesn't get turned off
during a relearn. However, LSI's default config doesn't enable it, and
now mfiutil can be used to do that (through "mfiutil bbu bbu-mode").
I was hoping someone would be able to review the patch. If anyone's able
and willing to test it, I'd very much appreciate feedback from that.
Thanks!
