It is a common mistake to have failed to autoload the module due to
permission issues when running a ZFS command as a user. "Operation
not permitted" is an unhelpfully vague error message.
Use a thread-local message buffer to format a nicer error message.
We can infer that loading the kernel module failed if the module is
not loaded. This can be extended with heuristics for other errors
in the future.
While looking at this stuff, remove an unused thread-local message
buffer found in libspl and remove some inaccurate verbiage from the
comment on libzfs_load_module.

Closes#11033
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.
