spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD

The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

makefs: Fix issues building as a cross-tool on non-FreeBSD

This adds missing includes, uses the standard dirent.h rather than the
BSD-specific sys/dirent.h subset (which works on macOS but not Linux)
and works around Linux's lack of st_birthtim.

This allows usr.sbin/makefs to be added to LOCAL_XTOOL_DIRS again on
macOS and Linux so that disk images can be cross-built.

makefs: Add ZFS support

This allows one to take a staged directory tree and create a file
consisting of a ZFS pool with one or more datasets that contain the
contents of the directory tree. This is useful for creating virtual
machine images without using the kernel to create a pool; "zpool create"
requires root privileges and currently is not permitted in jails.
makefs -t zfs also provides reproducible images by using a fixed seed
for pseudo-random number generation, used for generating GUIDs and hash
salts. makefs -t zfs requires relatively little by way of machine
resources.

The "zpool_reguid" rc.conf setting can be used to ask a FreeBSD guest to
generate a unique pool GUID upon first boot.

A small number of pool and dataset properties are supported. The pool
is backed by a single disk vdev. Data is always checksummed using
Fletcher-4, no redundant copies are made, and no compression is used.
The manual page documents supported pool and filesystem properties.

The implementation uses a few pieces of ZFS support from with the boot
loader, especially definitions for various on-disk structures, but is
otherwise standalone and in particular doesn't depend on OpenZFS.

This feature should be treated as experimental for now, i.e., important
data shouldn't be trusted to a makefs-created pool, and the command-line
interface is subject to change.
