zpool: Change zpool offline spares policy
The zpool offline man page says that you cannot use 'zpool offline'
on spares.  However, testing found that you could in fact force fault
(zpool offline -f) spares.

Change the policy to:
1. You can never force-fault or offline dRAID spares.
2. You can only force-fault or offline traditional spares if they're
   active.
