Resilver restarts unnecessarily when it encounters errors

When a resilver finishes, vdev_dtl_reassess is called to hopefully
excise DTL_MISSING (amongst other things). If there are errors during
the resilver, they are tracked in DTL_SCRUB, as spelled out in the
block comment in vdev.c. DTL_SCRUB is in-core only, so it can only
be used if the pool was online for the whole resilver. This state is
tracked with the spa_scrub_started flag, which only gets set when
the scan is initialized. Unfortunately, this flag gets cleared right
before vdev_dtl_reassess gets called, so if there are any errors
during the scan, DTL_MISSING will never get excised and the resilver
will just continually restart. This fix simply moves clearing that
flag until after the call to vdev_dtl_reasses.

In addition, if a pool is imported and already has scn_errors > 0,
this change will restart the resilver immediately instead of doing
the rest of the scan and then restarting it from the beginning. On
the other hand, if scn_errors == 0 at import, then no errors have
been encountered so far, so the spa_scrub_started flag can be safely
set.

A test has been added to verify that resilver does not restart when
relevant DTL's are available.
