Add META tags Linux-Maximum and Linux-Minimum.
One pain point for package maintainers is ensuring the compatibility of
the packaged version of ZFS with the Linux kernel. By providing an
authoritative compatibility guide in the source tree, maintainers can
automate compatibility checks.
Additionally, increase META string extraction specificity.
configure.ac finds Name and Version by a very simple `grep`, which might
conceivably find other fields. Require the string be at the beginning of
a line, and be followed by a colon to avoid such confusions.

Issue #2757
Create the first 0.6.0 release candidate tag (rc1). The Posix
layer is now functional and passes fstest and several other
test suites cleanly. We now need this release candidate tag
to broaden the test coverage before we can release the official
zfs-0.6.0.
Add autoconf style build infrastructure to the ZFS tree. This
includes autogen.sh, configure.ac, m4 macros, some scripts/*,
and makefiles for all the core ZFS components.
