libzfs: Add error message for why creating mountpoint failed
When zfs_mount_at() fails to stat the mountpoint and can't create the
directory, we return an error with a message "failed to create
mountpoint" but there is no indication why it failed.

Add the error string from the syscall to the error aux message.

Update do_mount for Linux to return the errno instead of -1.

mount: use the mount syscall directly
Allow zfs datasets to be mounted on Linux without relying on the
invocation of an external processes.  This is the same behavior
which is implemented for FreeBSD.

Use of the libmount library was originally considered because it 
provides functionality to properly lock and update the /etc/mtab 
file.  However, these days /etc/mtab is typically a symlink to 
/proc/self/mounts so there's nothing to updated.  Therefore, we
call mount(2) directly and avoid any additional dependencies. 

If required the legacy behavior can be enabled by setting the 
ZFS_MOUNT_HELPER environment variable.  This may be needed in
environments where SELinux in enabled and the zfs binary does  
not have mount permission.

4bc721965f Add FreeBSD jail support hooks
Add the 'zfs jail/unjail' subcommands along with the relevant 
documentation from FreeBSD.  This feature is not supported on
Linux and still requires the match kernel ioctls which will
be included when the FreeBSD platform code is integrated.
