Increase the default allowed number of reconstruction attempts. There's not an exact right number for this setting. It needs to be set large enough to cover any realistic failure scenarios and small enough to avoid stalling the IO pipeline and invoking the dead man detection. The current value of 256 was empirically determined to be too low based on multi-day runs of ztest. The fault injection code would inject more damage than could be reconstructed given the relatively small number of attempts. However, in all observed cases the block could be reconstructed using a slightly higher limit. Based on local testing increasing the default value to 4096 was determined to strike the best balance. Checking all combinations takes less than 10s in the worst case, and has so far eliminated the vast majority of false positives detected by ztest. This delay is roughly on par with how long retries may be performed to a misbehaving HDD and was deemed to be reasonable. Better to err on the side of a brief delay rather than fail to reconstruct the data. Lastly, the -Y flag has been added to zdb to make it easy to try all possible combinations when performing split block reconstruction. For badly damaged blocks with 18 splits, they can be fully enumerated within a few minutes. This has been done to ensure permanent errors are never incorrectly reported when ztest verifies the pool with zdb.
