Pavel Zakharov 4a0ee12af8 OpenZFS 8961 - SPA load/import should tell us why it failed
Problem
=======

When we fail to open or import a storage pool, we typically don't
get any additional diagnostic information, just "no pool found" or
"can not import".

While there may be no additional user-consumable information, we should
at least make this situation easier to debug/diagnose for developers
and support.  For example, we could start by using `zfs_dbgmsg()`
to log each thing that we try when importing, and which things
failed. E.g. "tried uberblock of txg X from label Y of device Z". Also,
we could log each of the stages that we go through in `spa_load_impl()`.

Solution
========

Following the cleanup to `spa_load_impl()`, debug messages have been
added to every point of failure in that function. Additionally,
debug messages have been added to strategic places, such as
`vdev_disk_open()`.
