Merge libzfs_core branch:
includes MFV 238590, 238592, 247580
MFV 238590, 238592:
In the first zfs ioctl restructuring phase, the libzfs_core library was
introduced. It is a new thin library that wraps around kernel ioctl's.
The idea is to provide a forward-compatible way of dealing with new
features. Arguments are passed in nvlists and not random zfs_cmd fields,
new-style ioctls are logged to pool history using a new method of
history logging.

MFV 247580 [1]:
To address issues of several deadlocks and race conditions the locking
code around dsl_dataset was rewritten and the interface to synctasks
was changed.
User-Visible Changes:
"zfs snapshot" can create more arbitrary snapshots at once (atomically)
"zfs destroy" destroys multiple snapshots at once
"zfs recv" has improved performance
Backward Compatibility:
I have extended the compatibility layer to support full backward
compatibility by remapping or rewriting the responsible ioctl arguments.
Old utilities are fully supported by the new kernel module.
Forward Compatibility:
New utilities work with old kernels with the following restrictions:
- creating, destroying, holding and releasing of multiple snapshots
at once is not supported, this includes recursive (-r) commands
Illumos ZFS issues:
2882 implement libzfs_core
2900 "zfs snapshot" should be able to create multiple,
arbitrary snapshots at once
3464 zfs synctask code needs restructuring

Fix a few gratuitous library dependencies. Some of the ZFS utilities
are linked with libraries they don't use:
- zinject doesn't use libavl
- ztest doesn't use libz
- zdb uses neither libavl nor libz
- zfs uses neither libbsdxml nor libm, nor libsbuf
- zpool uses neither libbsdxml nor libm, nor libsbuf
In addition, libzfs needs libm because it uses pow(), however it isn't
linked with -lm. This went unnoticed because all its users had -lm before.

Remove manual .includes in cddl Makefiles
- Break the dependency on ../Makefile.inc for .PATH, and include
../Makefile.inc implicitly. This is required to ...
- Set WARNS?=6 in top-level Makefile.inc
- Remove now redundant WARNS settings, add WARNS?=0 where appropriate
- Remove redundant SHLIB_MAJOR overrides
- Use NO_MAN, not MK_MAN=no
- Remove redundant inclusion of bsd.own.mk
- Order Makefiles more according to style.Makefile(9)
- Reduce diff of cddl Makefiles against each other

Update ZFS from version 6 to 13 and bring some FreeBSD-specific changes.
This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:
- Delegated Administration
Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.
- L2ARC
Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.
- slog
Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).
- vfs.zfs.super_owner
Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.
- chflags(2)
Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.
- ZFSBoot
Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- Snapshot properties
- New failure modes
Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one
can select from one of three failure modes:
- panic - panic on write error
- wait - wait for disk to reappear
- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests
- Refquota, refreservation properties
Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
by children file systems, clones and snapshots.
- Sparse volumes
ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.
- External attributes
Compatible with extattr(2).
- NFSv4-ACLs
Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.

- Creation-time properties
- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.
