Document allowed pool names
PR #7208 was a patch to allow non-reserved pool names which begin with mirror, raidz, spare (but do not equal), however we'd rather document it in the man page for compatibility with other OpenZFS implementations, to avoid pool names that may not work on non-Linux platforms.
