We'd like a way for zdb to dump metadata in a machine-readable
format, so that we can bring that back from a customer site for
in-house diagnosis.  Think of it as a crash dump for zpools,
which can be used for post-mortem analysis of a malfunctioning
pool

Porting notes:
- [cmd/zdb/zdb.c]
  - a5778ea zdb: Introduce -V for verbatim import
  - In main() getopt 'opt' variable removed and the code was
    brought back in line with illumos.
- [lib/libzpool/kernel.c]
  - 1e33ac1 Fix Solaris thread dependency by using pthreads
  - f0e324f Update utsname support
  - 4d58b69 Fix vn_open/vn_rdwr error handling
  - In vn_open() allocate 'dumppath' on heap instead of stack
  - Properly handle 'dump_fd == -1' error path
  - Free 'realpath' after added vn_dumpdir_code block

All blocks accessed will be copied to files in the specified directory.
The blocks will be placed in sparse files whose name is the same as
that of the file or device read. zdb can be then run on the generated files.
Note that the \fB-bbc\fR flags are sufficient to access (and thus copy)
all metadata on the pool.
