On some platforms symbols provided by libzfs_core and used by
libzfs were not available to the linker. To avoid this issue
libzfs_core has been added to the list of required libraries
when building utilities which depend on libzfs. This should
have been handled properly by libtool and it's still not
entirely clear why it wasn't on all platforms.

Closes#1841
Libraries that depend on other libraries should list them in ELF's
DT_NEEDED field so that programs linking to them do not need to specify
those libraries unless they depend on them as well. This is not the case
in the current code and the consequence is that anything that needs a
library must know its dependencies. This is fragile and caused GRUB2's
configure script to break when a dependency was added on libblkid in
libzfs.
This resolves that problem by using LIBADD/LDADD to specify libraries in
Makefile.am instead of LDFLAGS. This ensures that proper DT_NEEDED
entries are generated and prevents GRUB2's configure script from
breaking in the presence of a libblkid dependency. This also removes
unneeded dependencies from various files.
