zgenhostid(8) is used to modify or create /etc/hostid. This
administrative tool is currently installed to bindir. System utilities
are typically placed in sbin.
Modify the installation directory for zgenhostid. Additionally, track
this change in its use in dracut and the rpm installation.

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

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.
