OpenZFS 8906 - uts: illumos rootfs should support salted cksum

Porting notes:
* As of grub-2.02 these checksums are not supported.  However, as
  pointed out in #6501 there are alternatives such as EFISTUB which
  work and have no such restriction.  A warning was added to the
  checksum property section of the zfs.8 man page.
