  • add sg_ll_read_block_limits_v2() for MLOI bit

  • remove unused out2_off in main()
  • add support for accessing NVMe devices via pass-through
• sg_pt_dummy.c: remove problematic include
• linux musl libc: changes so musl libc will build
• sg3_utils.spec: change tarball extension from .tgz to .tar.gz ; fix build issue with Fedora 36
• build cleanups for 'make distcheck', see ​https://github.com/doug-gilbert/sg3_utils/pull/26, 27 and 28; need svn:ignore property or maybe global-ignores
