Linux compat: Minimum kernel version 3.10
Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10.
This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions.

    Distribution     | Kernel | End of Life
    ---------------- | ------ | -------------
    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2    | Apr 28, 2017
    SLES 11          | 3.0    | Mar 32, 2019
    RHEL / CentOS 6  | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020

The following changes were made as part of removing support.

* Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as
  specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10).

    configure: error:
        *** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32.
        *** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10.

* Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for
  interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel.

* Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is
  missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel.
  Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and
  updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface.

* Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match
  the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the
  legacy interface.

* Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due
  the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle
  this now.  It would be desirable to group other related checks in
  the same fashion, but this as left as future work.

  - config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks
  - config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks
  - config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks

* Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and
  sops->free_cached_objects().  These interfaces are currently unused.

Perform KABI checks in parallel
Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed
KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in
parallel.  This was accomplished by splitting each test's source
code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled
or not.

By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of
times kbuild needs to be invoked.  As importantly, it means all of
the tests can be built in parallel.  This does require a little extra
care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k)
option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled.
Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will
result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests
which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file.

Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as
previously.  The only significant difference is that it now merely
needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the
result of a given test.  This vastly speeds up the entire process.

New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test
source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result.  All of
the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see
config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example.  The legacy
ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases
but it's use is not encouraged.

Brian Behlendorf 93ce2b4ca5 Update build system and packaging
Minimal changes required to integrate the SPL sources in to the
ZFS repository build infrastructure and packaging.

Build system and packaging:
  * Renamed SPL_* autoconf m4 macros to ZFS_*.
  * Removed redundant SPL_* autoconf m4 macros.
  * Updated the RPM spec files to remove SPL package dependency.
  * The zfs package obsoletes the spl package, and the zfs-kmod
    package obsoletes the spl-kmod package.
  * The zfs-kmod-devel* packages were updated to add compatibility
    symlinks under /usr/src/spl-x.y.z until all dependent packages
    can be updated.  They will be removed in a future release.
  * Updated copy-builtin script for in-kernel builds.
  * Updated DKMS package to include the spl.ko.
  * Updated stale AUTHORS file to include all contributors.
  * Updated stale COPYRIGHT and included the SPL as an exception.
  * Renamed README.markdown to README.md
  * Renamed OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE to LICENSE.
  * Renamed DISCLAIMER to NOTICE.

Required code changes:
  * Removed redundant HAVE_SPL macro.
  * Removed _BOOT from nvpairs since it doesn't apply for Linux.
  * Initial header cleanup (removal of empty headers, refactoring).
  * Remove SPL repository clone/build from zimport.sh.
  * Use of DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE and DEFINE_SPINLOCK removed due
    to build issues when forcing C99 compilation.
  * Replaced legacy ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE.
  * Include needed headers for `current` and `EXPORT_SYMBOL`.

Split spl-build.m4
Split the kernel interface configure checks in to seperate m4
macro files.  This is intended to facilitate moving the spl
source code in to the zfs repository.
