Add createtxg sort support for simple snapshot iterator

- When iterating snapshots with name only, e.g., "-o name -s name",
libzfs uses simple snapshot iterator and results are displayed
in alphabetic order. This PR adds support for faster version of
createtxg sort by avoiding nvlist parsing for properties. Flags
"-o name -s createtxg" will enable createtxg sort while using
simple snapshot iterator.
- Added support to read createtxg property directly from zfs handle
for filesystem, volume and snapshot types instead of parsing nvlist.
