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.

Add notice that forcefully unmount is not supported on Linux
The Linux VFS will never allow a filesystem which is in use to
be unmounted.  This behavior differs from other platforms like
FreeBSD which allow a filesystem to be force unmounted.  This 
will result in errors being returned to applications actively
using the filesystem.

Ross Williams 870fc32fc9 Reorganize zfs(8) man page into sections
Most subcommands got their own manpages (e.g. create). Some related
commands grouped into a single manpage and symlinks created (e.g. set, 
get, and inherit). I did this when topics were either too short to 
warrant their own file or so interrelated that a user would want to
refer between commands in the same file.

Corrected .Sx internal references to .Xr cross refs; lots of .Sx 
references from when text was all in zfs.8 needed to be changed to 
.Xr zfs-$SUBCOMMAND 8 cross references.

Divided subcommand list in zfs(8) into sections of related 
functionality. This required writing new descriptions for some 
commands.

Preserved ".Os Linux", `.Os` macro parsing behavior differs between 
mandoc from the "BSD" mandoc package (available on Ubuntu) and man 
from Ubuntu's man-db package, which calls groff to format the manpages.

Groff handles the `.Os` macro differently and wrongly, defaulting 
it to "BSD" in `/usr/share/groff/*/tmac/mdoc/doc-common`, instead of
getting the default from `uname`.

A future set of changes will introduce build-time preprocessing of
manpages for platform-specific documentation and can insert the
correct operating system name.

Added SEE ALSO sections, the newly-divided zfs-*.8 subcommand man
pages needed their own SEE ALSO sections pointing to related
subcommands and, in some cases, documentation from other packages
(e.g. zfs-share.8).
