Richard Yao acf0ade362 Simplify hostid logic
There is plenty of compatibility code for a hw_hostid
that isn't used by anything. At the same time, there are apparently
issues with the current hostid logic. coredumb in #zfsonlinux on
freenode reported that Fedora 17 changes its hostid on every boot, which
required force importing his pool. A suggestion by wca was to adopt
FreeBSD's behavior, where it treats hostid as zero if /etc/hostid does
not exist

Adopting FreeBSD's behavior permits us to eliminate plenty of code,
including a userland helper that invokes the system's hostid as a
fallback.
