Historically libblkid support was detected as part of configure
and optionally enabled. This was done because at the time support
for detecting ZFS pool vdevs had just be added to libblkid and
those updated packages were not yet part of many distributions.
This is no longer the case and any reasonably current distribution
will ship a version of libblkid which can detect ZFS pool vdevs.
This patch makes libblkid mandatory at build time and libblkid
the preferred method of scanning for ZFS pools. For distributions
which include a modern version of libblkid there is no change in
behavior. Explicitly scanning the default search paths is still
supported and can be enabled with the '-s' command line option.
Additionally making libblkid mandatory means that the 'zpool create'
command can reliably detect if a specified device has an existing
non-ZFS filesystem (ext4, xfs) and print a warning.

Closes#2448
libblkid support is dormant because the autotools check is broken and
liblkid identifies ZFS vdevs as "zfs_member", not "zfs". We fix that
with a few changes:
First, we fix the libblkid autotools check to do a few things:
1. Make a 64MB file, which is the minimum size ZFS permits.
2. Make 4 fake uberblock entries to make libblkid's check succeed.
3. Return 0 upon success to make autotools use the success case.
4. Include stdlib.h to avoid implicit declration of free().
5. Check for "zfs_member", not "zfs"
6. Make --with-blkid disable autotools check (avoids Gentoo sandbox violation)
7. Pass '-lblkid' correctly using LIBS not LDFLAGS.
Second, we change the libblkid support to scan for "zfs_member", not
"zfs".
This makes --with-blkid work on Gentoo.

Issue #1751
This change updates the AC_LANG_PROGRAM autoconf macro invocations to be
wrapped in quotes. As of autoconf version 2.68, the quotes are necessary
to prevent warnings from appearing. Specifically, the autoconf v2.68
Forward Porting Notes specifies:
It is important to note that you need to ensure that the call to
AC_LANG_SOURCE is quoted and not expanded, otherwise that will
cause the warning to appear nonetheless.
Finally, because of the additional quoting we can drop the extra
quotas used by the ZFS_AC_CONFIG_USER_STACK_GUARD autoconf check.

Closes#464
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.
