Add zfs create dryrun

Adds the ability to sanity check zfs create arguments and to see the
value of any additional properties that will local to the dataset.  For
example, automation that may need to adjust quota on a parent filesystem
before creating a volume may call `zfs create -nP -V <size> <volume>` to
obtain the value of refreservation.  This adds the following options to
zfs create:

- -n dry-run (no-op)
- -v verbose
- -P parseable (implies verbose)
