Update zfs(8) Snapshots section
The Snapshots section of the zfs(8) man page is incorrect and should
have been updated as part of #1312. Snapshots of volumes can be
accessed independently and their visibility is determined by the
'snapdev=hidden|visible' property. This is analogous to the existing
'snapdir=hidden|visible' property.
