Pool allocation classes

Allocation Classes add the ability to have allocation classes in a
pool that are dedicated to serving specific block categories, such
as DDT data, metadata, and small file blocks. A pool can opt-in to
this feature by adding a 'special' or 'dedup' top-level VDEV.

+This feature enables support for separate allocation classes.

+This feature becomes \fBactive\fR when a dedicated allocation class vdev
+(dedup or special) is created with zpool create or zpool add. With device
+removal, it can be returned to the \fBenabled\fR state if all the top-level
+vdevs from an allocation class are removed.
