Dump and restore.

in-place reshapes (such as raid5 + 1 disk => raid6 or
change-chunk-size) are on my list of 'that might be interesting to
implement', but there are plenty of more interesting things.  And it
would be very slow.  It would need to copy some number of stripes to a
backup somewhere, then copy them back in the new layout, so every
block in the array would be written twice.
