systemd zfs-import.target and documentation
zfs-import-{cache,scan}.service must complete before any mounting of
filesystems can occur. To simplify this dependency, create a target
that is reached After (in the systemd sense) the pool is imported.
Additionally, recommend that legacy zfs mounts use the option
x-systemd.requires=zfs-import.target
to codify this requirement.
