Add device rebuild feature
The device_rebuild feature enables sequential reconstruction when
resilvering.  Mirror vdevs can be rebuilt in LBA order which may
more quickly restore redundancy depending on the pools average block
size, overall fragmentation and the performance characteristics
of the devices.  However, block checksums cannot be verified
as part of the rebuild thus a scrub is automatically started after
the sequential resilver completes.

The new '-s' option has been added to the `zpool attach` and
`zpool replace` command to request sequential reconstruction
instead of healing reconstruction when resilvering.

    zpool attach -s <pool> <existing vdev> <new vdev>
    zpool replace -s <pool> <old vdev> <new vdev>

The `zpool status` output has been updated to report the progress
of sequential resilvering in the same way as healing resilvering.
The one notable difference is that multiple sequential resilvers
may be in progress as long as they're operating on different
top-level vdevs.

The `zpool wait -t resilver` command was extended to wait on
sequential resilvers.  From this perspective they are no different
than healing resilvers.

Sequential resilvers cannot be supported for RAIDZ, but are
compatible with the dRAID feature being developed.

As part of this change the resilver_restart_* tests were moved
in to the functional/replacement directory.  Additionally, the
replacement tests were renamed and extended to verify both
resilvering and rebuilding.

This package provides a wrapper for libzfs_core C library.

libzfs_core is intended to be a stable interface for programmatic
administration of ZFS.
This wrapper provides one-to-one wrappers for libzfs_core API functions,
but the signatures and types are more natural to Python.
nvlists are wrapped as dictionaries or lists depending on their usage.
Some parameters have default values depending on typical use for
increased convenience.
Enumerations and bit flags become strings and lists of strings in Python.
Errors are reported as exceptions rather than integer errno-style
error codes.  The wrapper takes care to provide one-to-many mapping
of the error codes to the exceptions by interpreting a context
in which the error code is produced.

Unit tests and automated test for the libzfs_core API are provided
with this package.
Please note that the API tests perform lots of ZFS dataset level
operations and ZFS tries hard to ensure that any modifications
do reach stable storage. That means that the operations are done
synchronously and that, for example, disk caches are flushed.
Thus, the tests can be very slow on real hardware.
It is recommended to place the default temporary directory or
a temporary directory specified by, for instance, TMP environment
variable on a memory backed filesystem.
