Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed
KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in
parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source
code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled
or not.
By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of
times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of
the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra
care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k)
option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled.
Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will
result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests
which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file.
Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as
previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely
needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the
result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process.
New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test
source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of
the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see
config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy
ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases
but it's use is not encouraged.

Macro ZFS_MINOR, introduced in commit a6cc9756 to record the chosen
static minor number for /dev/zfs, conflicts with an existing macro
in Lustre. The lustre macro (along with _MAJOR, _PATCH, _FIX) is
used to record the zfsonlinux version Lustre is being built against.
Since the Lustre macro came first, and is used in past versions of
lustre at least going back to 2.10, it makes sense to rename the
macro in ZFS instead of doing so in Lustre which would require
backporting the patch.

Historically a dynamic misc minor number was registered for the
/dev/zfs device in order to prevent minor number collisions. This
was fine but it prevented us from being able to use the kernel
module auto-loaded which requires a known reserved value.
Resolve this issue by adding a configure test to find an available
misc minor number which can then be used in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV at
build time. By adding this alias the zfs kmod is added to the list
of known static-nodes and the systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev service
will create a /dev/zfs character device at boot time.
This in turn allows us to update the 90-zfs.rules file to make it
aware this is a static node. The upshot of this is that whenever
a process (zpool, zfs, zed) opens the /dev/zfs the kmods will be
automatic loaded. This even works for unprivileged users so there
is no longer a need to manually load the modules at boot time.
As an additional bonus the zed now no longer needs to start after
the zfs-import.service since it will trigger the module load.
In the unlikely event the minor number we selected conflicts with
another out of tree unregistered minor number the code falls back
to dynamically allocating it. In this case the modules again
must be manually loaded.
Note that due to the change in the method of registering the minor
number the zimport.sh test case may incorrectly fail when the
static node for the installed packages is created instead of the
dynamic one. This issue will only transiently impact zimport.sh
for this single commit when we transition and are mixing and
matching methods.
