Introduce ZFS_LINUX_REQUIRE_API autoconf macro
Currently, if API tests fail, we either ignore the failures, or unconditionally halt the kernel build. This leads to situations where incompatibilities with existing APIs may develop, but not trip the configure compatibility checks. This introduces a new mechanism to require APIs for kernels above a particular version. While not perfect, this at least guarantees mainline kernels do not break existing APIs without at least providing some warning.
