This feature allows disks to be added one at a time to a RAID-Z group,
expanding its capacity incrementally. This feature is especially useful
for small pools (typically with only one RAID-Z group), where there
isn't sufficient hardware to add capacity by adding a whole new RAID-Z
group (typically doubling the number of disks).
== Initiating expansion ==
A new device (disk) can be attached to an existing RAIDZ vdev, by
running `zpool attach POOL raidzP-N NEW_DEVICE`, e.g. `zpool attach tank
raidz2-0 sda`. The new device will become part of the RAIDZ group. A
"raidz expansion" will be initiated, and the new device will contribute
additional space to the RAIDZ group once the expansion completes.
The `feature@raidz_expansion` on-disk feature flag must be `enabled` to
initiate an expansion, and it remains `active` for the life of the pool.
In other words, pools with expanded RAIDZ vdevs can not be imported by
older releases of the ZFS software.
== During expansion ==
The expansion entails reading all allocated space from existing disks in
the RAIDZ group, and rewriting it to the new disks in the RAIDZ group
(including the newly added device).
The expansion progress can be monitored with `zpool status`.
Data redundancy is maintained during (and after) the expansion. If a
disk fails while the expansion is in progress, the expansion pauses
until the health of the RAIDZ vdev is restored (e.g. by replacing the
failed disk and waiting for reconstruction to complete).
The pool remains accessible during expansion. Following a reboot or
export/import, the expansion resumes where it left off.
== After expansion ==
When the expansion completes, the additional space is available for use,
and is reflected in the `available` zfs property (as seen in `zfs list`,
`df`, etc).
Expansion does not change the number of failures that can be tolerated
without data loss (e.g. a RAIDZ2 is still a RAIDZ2 even after
expansion).
A RAIDZ vdev can be expanded multiple times.
After the expansion completes, old blocks remain with their old
data-to-parity ratio (e.g. 5-wide RAIDZ2, has 3 data to 2 parity), but
distributed among the larger set of disks. New blocks will be written
with the new data-to-parity ratio (e.g. a 5-wide RAIDZ2 which has been
expanded once to 6-wide, has 4 data to 2 parity). However, the RAIDZ
vdev's "assumed parity ratio" does not change, so slightly less space
than is expected may be reported for newly-written blocks, according to
`zfs list`, `df`, `ls -s`, and similar tools.

Closes#15022
Convert use of ASSERT() to ASSERT0(), ASSERT3U(), ASSERT3S(),
ASSERT3P(), and likewise for VERIFY(). In some cases it ended up
making more sense to change the code, such as VERIFY on nvlist
operations that I have converted to use fnvlist instead. In one
place I changed an internal struct member from int to boolean_t to
match its use. Some asserts that combined multiple checks with &&
in a single assert have been split to separate asserts, to make it
apparent which check fails.

Closes#11971
Modern bootloaders leverage data stored in the root filesystem to
enable some of their powerful features. GRUB specifically has a grubenv
file which can store large amounts of configuration data that can be
read and written at boot time and during normal operation. This allows
sysadmins to configure useful features like automated failover after
failed boot attempts. Unfortunately, due to the Copy-on-Write nature
of ZFS, the standard behavior of these tools cannot handle writing to
ZFS files safely at boot time. We need an alternative way to store
data that allows the bootloader to make changes to the data.
This work is very similar to work that was done on Illumos to enable
similar functionality in the FreeBSD bootloader. This patch is different
in that the data being stored is a raw grubenv file; this file can store
arbitrary variables and values, and the scripting provided by grub is
powerful enough that special structures are not required to implement
advanced behavior.
We repurpose the second padding area in each label to store the grubenv
file, protected by an embedded checksum. We add two ioctls to get and
set this data, and libzfs_core and libzfs functions to access them more
easily. There are no direct command line interfaces to these functions;
these will be added directly to the bootloader utilities.

Add the FreeBSD platform code to the OpenZFS repository. As of this
commit the source can be compiled and tested on FreeBSD 11 and 12.
Subsequent commits are now required to compile on FreeBSD and Linux.
Additionally, they must pass the ZFS Test Suite on FreeBSD which is
being run by the CI. As of this commit 1230 tests pass on FreeBSD
and there are no unexpected failures.
