Update build system and packaging Minimal changes required to integrate the SPL sources in to the ZFS repository build infrastructure and packaging. Build system and packaging: * Renamed SPL_* autoconf m4 macros to ZFS_*. * Removed redundant SPL_* autoconf m4 macros. * Updated the RPM spec files to remove SPL package dependency. * The zfs package obsoletes the spl package, and the zfs-kmod package obsoletes the spl-kmod package. * The zfs-kmod-devel* packages were updated to add compatibility symlinks under /usr/src/spl-x.y.z until all dependent packages can be updated. They will be removed in a future release. * Updated copy-builtin script for in-kernel builds. * Updated DKMS package to include the spl.ko. * Updated stale AUTHORS file to include all contributors. * Updated stale COPYRIGHT and included the SPL as an exception. * Renamed README.markdown to README.md * Renamed OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE to LICENSE. * Renamed DISCLAIMER to NOTICE. Required code changes: * Removed redundant HAVE_SPL macro. * Removed _BOOT from nvpairs since it doesn't apply for Linux. * Initial header cleanup (removal of empty headers, refactoring). * Remove SPL repository clone/build from zimport.sh. * Use of DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE and DEFINE_SPINLOCK removed due to build issues when forcing C99 compilation. * Replaced legacy ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE. * Include needed headers for `current` and `EXPORT_SYMBOL`.
