Both Clang's Static Analyzer and Synopsys' Coverity would ignore
assertions. Following Clang's advice, we annotate our assertions:
https://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/annotations.html#custom_assertions
This makes both Clang's Static Analyzer and Coverity properly identify
assertions. This change reduced Clang's reported defects from 246 to
180. It also reduced the false positives reported by Coverityi by 10,
while enabling Coverity to find 9 more defects that previously were
false negatives.
A couple examples of this would be CID-1524417 and CID-1524423. After
submitting a build to coverity with the modified assertions, CID-1524417
disappeared while the report for CID-1524423 no longer claimed that the
assertion tripped.
Coincidentally, it turns out that it is possible to more accurately
annotate our headers than the Coverity modelling file permits in the
case of format strings. Since we can do that and this patch annotates
headers whenever `__coverity_panic__()` would have been used in the
model file, we drop all models that use `__coverity_panic__()` from the
model file.
Upon seeing the success in eliminating false positives involving
assertions, it occurred to me that we could also modify our headers to
eliminate coverity's false positives involving byte swaps. We now have
coverity specific byteswap macros, that do nothing, to disable
Coverity's false positives when we do byte swaps. This allowed us to
also drop the byteswap definitions from the model file.
Lastly, a model file update has been done beyond the mentioned
deletions:
* The definitions of `umem_alloc_aligned()`, `umem_alloc()` andi
`umem_zalloc()` were originally implemented in a way that was
intended to inform coverity that when KM_SLEEP has been passed these
functions, they do not return NULL. A small error in how this was
done was found, so we correct it.
* Definitions for umem_cache_alloc() and umem_cache_free() have been
added.
In practice, no false positives were avoided by making these changes,
but in the interest of correctness from future coverity builds, we make
them anyway.

Remove vestigial uu_open_tmp(). The problems with this implementation
are many, but the primary one is the TMPPATHFMT macro, which is
unused, and always has been.
Searching around for any users leads only to earlier imports of the
same, identical file, i.a. into an apple repository (which does patch
gethrtime() into it and gives us a copyright date of 2007),
and a MidnightBSD one from 2008.
Searching illumos-gate, uu_open_tmp appears, in current HEAD, three
times: in the header, libuutil's mapfile ABI, and the implementation.
This slowly grows up to eight occurrences as one moves back to the root
"OpenSolaris Launch" commit: the header, implementation, twice in
libuutil's spec ABI, twice (with multilib and non-multilib paths) in
libuutil.so's i386 and SPARC binary db ABIs.
That's 2005, and this file was abandonware even then, it's dead code.
The situation is similar for the uu_dprintf() family of functions and
uu_dump(). Nothing in accessibly recorded history has ever used them.

Closes#11873
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.
For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.
Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z
------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6
../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure
make make make make
make check make check make check make check
This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory. This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
