Érico Rolim 9c4b6dbb31 zgenhostid: accept hostid arguments equal to zero.
A common usage pattern for zgenhostid, including in the ZFS dracut
module, is running it as:

  zgenhostid $(hostid)

However, zgenhostid only accepted hostid arguments greater than 0, which
meant that, when the output of hostid(1) was "00000000", zgenhostid
would error out, even though 0 is a possible return value for the
gethostid(3) function used by hostid(1):

- On current musl libc, gethostid(3) is a stub that always returns 0.
- On glibc, gethostid(3) will return 0 if /etc/hostid exists but is
  smaller than 4 bytes.

In these cases, it makes more sense for zgenhostid to treat a value of 0
as other parts of the zfs codebase do, meaning that a hostid value
couldn't be determined; therefore, it should attempt to generate a
random value to write into /etc/hostid.

The manpage and usage output have been updated to reflect this.

Whitespace has also been fixed in the usage output.

cmd/zgenhostid: replace with simple c implementation
It was discovered that dracut scripts and zgenhostid
always generate little-endian /etc/hostid.

This commit provides simple endianess-aware binary
and updates the scripts to use it.

New features include:
 -f flag to force overwrite.
 -o flag to write to different file (for dracut)
 accepting both 0x01234567 and 01234567 values as input

Remove hard coded "Linux" OS from manpages
The recommended practice for `.Os` on FreeBSD is to not specify any
arguments.  The correct OS name is used automatically.

Oddly enough, on the Linux distro I tested this on (CentOS 7), the man
pager defaulted to displaying "BSD" as the OS rather than "Linux".  To
accommodate this, tack " Linux" back on in an install hook on Linux.
This is much simpler than removing it for FreeBSD when vendored in the
base system.

Richard Laager e7ce9759ac Correct man page dates
Various changes (many by me) have been made to the man pages without
bumping their dates.  I have now corrected them based on the last commit
to each file.  I also added the script I used to make these changes.

LOLi 90cdf2833d Add mdoc style checker
Add a new make 'mancheck' target which uses mandoc -Tlint to verify
manpage files: currently only zfs(8), zpool(8) zdb(8) and zgenhostid(8)
are supported.

Additionally fix some outstanding manpage formatting issues.

Olaf Faaland b9373170e3 Add zgenhostid utility script
Turning the multihost property on requires that a hostid be set to allow
ZFS to determine when a foreign system is attemping to import a pool.
The error message instructing the user to set a hostid refers to
genhostid(1).

Genhostid(1) is not available on SUSE Linux.  This commit adds a script
modeled after genhostid(1) for those users.

Zgenhostid checks for an /etc/hostid file; if it does not exist, it
creates one and stores a value.  If the user has provided a hostid as an
argument, that value is used.  Otherwise, a random hostid is generated
and stored.

This differs from the CENTOS 6/7 versions of genhostid, which overwrite
the /etc/hostid file even though their manpages state otherwise.

A man page for zgenhostid is added. The one for genhostid is in (1), but
I put zgenhostid in (8) because I believe it's more appropriate.

The mmp tests are modified to use zgenhostid to set the hostid instead
of using the spl_hostid module parameter.  zgenhostid will not replace
an existing /etc/hostid file, so new mmp_clear_hostid calls are
required.
