As per #9008, pyzfs implements and documents several functions that
would be very useful, but then try to call c functions in libzfs_core.
These functions do not exist in libzfs_core, and in the ~7 years of
ticket creation still do not exist in libzfs_core.
It seems unlikely that these functions will get implemented, though 2
years ago, ~5 years after that ticket lzc_get_props was implemented in
23a489a411 which enabled get properties in
pyzfs. Sadly the first thing the pyzfs function for lzc_get_props does
is call _list, which cals lzc_list, which is not implmented. And the
functions to set or inherit properties are still missing.
Having these functions in pyzfs are misleading, footguns, and time
wasters when evaluating pyzfs.
Removing these functions from pyzfs means that _if_ these functions are
added in libzfs_core, then pyzfs will also need to re-implement these
functions. It's a shame, because these py functions have good
documentation and tests. Funny enough the tests are auto skipped if it
detects that the functions don't exist in libzfs_core.
