Clarify `failmode=wait` documentation
Nowhere in the description of the failmode property does it clearly state how to bring a suspended pool back online. Add a few words to property description and the zpool-clear(8) man page. Reviewed-by: George Melikov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #12907 Closes #9395
