The changes piggyback JSON output support on top of channel programs
(#6558). This way the JSON output support is targeted to scripting
use cases and is easily maintainable since it really only touches
one function (zfs_do_channel_program()).
This patch ports Joyent's JSON nvlist library from illumos to enable
easy JSON printing of channel program output nvlist. To keep the
delta small I also took advantage of the fact that printing in
zfs_do_channel_program() was almost always done before exiting
the program.

Closes#7281
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.
For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.
Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z

make make make make
make check make check make check make check
This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory. This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
