We'd like a way for zdb to dump metadata in a machine-readable
format, so that we can bring that back from a customer site for
in-house diagnosis.  Think of it as a crash dump for zpools,
which can be used for post-mortem analysis of a malfunctioning
pool

Porting notes:
- [cmd/zdb/zdb.c]
  - a5778ea zdb: Introduce -V for verbatim import
  - In main() getopt 'opt' variable removed and the code was
    brought back in line with illumos.
- [lib/libzpool/kernel.c]
  - 1e33ac1 Fix Solaris thread dependency by using pthreads
  - f0e324f Update utsname support
  - 4d58b69 Fix vn_open/vn_rdwr error handling
  - In vn_open() allocate 'dumppath' on heap instead of stack
  - Properly handle 'dump_fd == -1' error path
  - Free 'realpath' after added vn_dumpdir_code block
