Illumos #2882, #2883, #2900

2882 implement libzfs_core
2883 changing "canmount" property to "on" should not always remount dataset
2900 "zfs snapshot" should be able to create multiple, arbitrary snapshots at once

Closes #1293

Porting notes:

WARNING: This patch changes the user/kernel ABI.  That means that
the zfs/zpool utilities built from master are NOT compatible with
the 0.6.2 kernel modules.  Ensure you load the matching kernel
modules from master after updating the utilities.  Otherwise the
zfs/zpool commands will be unable to interact with your pool and
you will see errors similar to the following:

  $ zpool list
  failed to read pool configuration: bad address
  no pools available

  $ zfs list
  no datasets available

Add zvol minor device creation to the new zfs_snapshot_nvl function.

Remove the logging of the "release" operation in
dsl_dataset_user_release_sync().  The logging caused a null dereference
because ds->ds_dir is zeroed in dsl_dataset_destroy_sync() and the
logging functions try to get the ds name via the dsl_dataset_name()
function. I've got no idea why this particular code would have worked
in Illumos.  This code has subsequently been completely reworked in
Illumos commit 3b2aab1 (3464 zfs synctask code needs restructuring).

Squash some "may be used uninitialized" warning/erorrs.

Fix some printf format warnings for %lld and %llu.

Apply a few spa_writeable() changes that were made to Illumos in
illumos/illumos-gate.git@cd1c8b8 as part of the 3112, 3113, 3114 and
3115 fixes.

Add a missing call to fnvlist_free(nvl) in log_internal() that was added
in Illumos to fix issue 3085 but couldn't be ported to ZoL at the time
(zfsonlinux/zfs@9e11c73) because it depended on future work.

+ * LibZFS_Core (lzc) is intended to replace most functionality in libzfs.
+ * It has the following characteristics:
+ *
+ *  - Thread Safe.  libzfs_core is accessible concurrently from multiple
+ *  threads.  This is accomplished primarily by avoiding global data
+ *  (e.g. caching).  Since it's thread-safe, there is no reason for a
+ *  process to have multiple libzfs "instances".  Therefore, we store
+ *  our few pieces of data (e.g. the file descriptor) in global
+ *  variables.  The fd is reference-counted so that the libzfs_core
+ *  library can be "initialized" multiple times (e.g. by different
+ *  consumers within the same process).
+ *
+ *  - Committed Interface.  The libzfs_core interface will be committed,
+ *  therefore consumers can compile against it and be confident that
+ *  their code will continue to work on future releases of this code.
+ *  Currently, the interface is Evolving (not Committed), but we intend
+ *  to commit to it once it is more complete and we determine that it
+ *  meets the needs of all consumers.
+ *
+ *  - Programatic Error Handling.  libzfs_core communicates errors with
+ *  defined error numbers, and doesn't print anything to stdout/stderr.
+ *
+ *  - Thin Layer.  libzfs_core is a thin layer, marshaling arguments
+ *  to/from the kernel ioctls.  There is generally a 1:1 correspondence
+ *  between libzfs_core functions and ioctls to /dev/zfs.
+ *
+ *  - Clear Atomicity.  Because libzfs_core functions are generally 1:1
+ *  with kernel ioctls, and kernel ioctls are general atomic, each
+ *  libzfs_core function is atomic.  For example, creating multiple
+ *  snapshots with a single call to lzc_snapshot() is atomic -- it
+ *  can't fail with only some of the requested snapshots created, even
+ *  in the event of power loss or system crash.
+ *
+ *  - Continued libzfs Support.  Some higher-level operations (e.g.
+ *  support for "zfs send -R") are too complicated to fit the scope of
+ *  libzfs_core.  This functionality will continue to live in libzfs.
+ *  Where appropriate, libzfs will use the underlying atomic operations
+ *  of libzfs_core.  For example, libzfs may implement "zfs send -R |
+ *  zfs receive" by using individual "send one snapshot", rename,
+ *  destroy, and "receive one snapshot" operations in libzfs_core.
+ *  /sbin/zfs and /zbin/zpool will link with both libzfs and
+ *  libzfs_core.  Other consumers should aim to use only libzfs_core,
+ *  since that will be the supported, stable interface going forwards.
